the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o excuse_n in_o regard_n of_o knowledge_n but_o if_o you_o understand_v it_o of_o power_n it_o be_v true_a for_o by_o our_o fault_n we_o be_v unable_a and_o none_o go_v so_o far_o as_o natural_o they_o be_v able_a and_o thus_o nature_n be_v consider_v in_o the_o first_o place_n second_o you_o may_v consider_v it_o as_o corrupt_a and_o obscure_v by_o sin_n goodness_n the_o

the_o more_o reason_n this_o way_n the_o more_o opposition_n to_o god_n and_o thus_o it_o fall_v out_o with_o all_o the_o great_a natural_a luminist_n they_o become_v vain_a in_o their_o reason_n

three_o by_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n therefore_o three_o time_n in_o rom._n 1._o god_n be_v say_v to_o give_v they_o up_o to_o sin_n three_o you_o may_v speak_v of_o nature_n as_o inform_v

of_o door_n let_v scripture_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n lay_v the_o foundation_n stone_n and_o then_o reason_n may_v build_v upon_o it_o it_o be_v stella_n his_o comparison_n it_o be_v with_o

of_o such_o who_o be_v so_o in_o their_o nature_n consider_v have_v not_o a_o absolute_a righteousness_n yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n believer_n even_o as_o abraham_n be_v and_o faith_n of_o the_o
