it_o differ_v from_o the_o word_n which_o the_o bookseller_n use_v nay_o more_o plain_o that_o such_o unchangeableness_n be_v a_o necessary_a and_o unavoidable_a consequence_n of_o the_o common_a

of_o perseverance_n be_v inseparable_o conjoin_v etc._n etc._n nay_o be_v to_o m._n goodwin_n one_o of_o the_o same_o ergo_fw-la the_o bookseller_n do_v he_o no_o wrong_n when_o they_o fasten_v his_o

of_o this_o consequence_n in_o his_o letter_n to_o m._n caryl_n where_o he_o have_v these_o word_n the_o style_n of_o the_o discourse_n be_v build_v upon_o this_o foundation_n that_o god_n can_v

and_o yet_o i_o think_v nay_o certain_a i_o be_o he_o may_v show_v as_o fair_a and_o fair_a card_n from_o reason_n and_o rational_a consequence_n against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n changeableness_n than_o you_o can_v against_o the_o unchangeableness_n of_o his_o love_n i_o can_v tell_v mr._n goodwin_n of_o very_o considerable_a author_n that_o in_o their_o high_a debate_n on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o truth_n when_o reason_n plead_v the_o most_o strong_o for_o their_o doctrine_n yet_o have_v so_o much_o sobriety_n as_o to_o put_v in_o this_o proviso_n that_o if_o god_n in_o scripture_n
