justice_n be_v not_o see_v in_o punish_v of_o man_n and_o in_o this_o contention_n which_o doubtless_o be_v very_o great_a either_o part_n have_v oftentimes_o receive_v grievous_a wound_n of_o other_o

of_o man_n against_o lease_v and_o falsehood_n neither_o side_n will_v give_v place_n to_o other_o neither_o indeed_o howsoever_o either_o of_o they_o may_v be_v vanquish_v by_o reason_n will_v there_o ever_o want_v matter_n for_o they_o to_o object_n so_o perpetual_a and_o everlasting_a seem_v this_o contention_n like_a to_o be_v what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o that_o this_o question_n so_o long_o debate_v of_o the_o philosopher_n most_o wise_a man_n and_o yet_o undetermine_v can_v even_o of_o divines_n and_o man_n endue_v with_o heavenly_a wisdom_n be_v discuss_v and_o decide_v and_o that_o god_n have_v in_o this_o case_n lay_v a_o cross_n upon_o learned_a man_n wherein_o they_o may_v perpetual_o torment_v themselves_o i_o can_v so_o think_v but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o way_n of_o appease_v this_o controversy_n it_o stand_v of_o necessity_n in_o this_o that_o one_o of_o the_o party_n may_v for_o a_o while_o yield_v and_o give_v place_n to_o the_o other_o or_o that_o either_o side_n will_v so_o far_o forth_o relent_v touch_v the_o stiffness_n of_o their_o opinion_n till_o as_o at_o length_n the_o matter_n may_v be_v thorough_o agree_v betwixt_o they_o but_o it_o be_v like_a that_o neither_o of_o both_o will_v give_v place_n to_o other_o because_o that_o aswell_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o do_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o they_o strive_v for_o the_o

the_o striver_n may_v by_o any_o mean_n be_v compare_v together_o and_o this_o course_n have_v agustine_n long_o ago_o the_o prince_n of_o divine_n follow_v and_o keep_v in_o his_o book_n 5._o

that_o even_o apollo_n himself_o can_v not_o tell_v of_o thing_n to_o come_v furtherfoorth_o then_o of_o such_o who_o cause_n be_v necessary_a but_o as_o the_o error_n of_o tully_n the_o chief_a

some_o thing_n leave_v out_o of_o the_o second_o table_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v not_o absolute_o true_a for_o those_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o begin_n general_o set_v down_o in_o which_o the_o
