but_o that_o he_o be_v utter_o spoil_v of_o all_o power_n strength_n and_o ability_n to_o do_v any_o spiritual_a and_o supernatural_a action_n of_o true_a virtue_n and_o piety_n and_o be_v not_o

three_o it_o be_v agree_v on_o that_o there_o be_v not_o leave_v in_o man_n corrupt_v by_o adam_n fall_n the_o least_o spark_n of_o moral_a or_o spiritual_a good_a desire_n or_o inclination_n which_o be_v blow_v upon_o and_o stir_v may_v concur_v with_o god_n grace_n for_o the_o bring_v forth_o of_o any_o good_a work_n so_o that_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v synergist_n in_o this_o sense_n though_o

still_o in_o man_n after_o the_o fall_n a_o desire_n of_o good_a and_o of_o that_o good_a wherein_o there_o be_v no_o defect_n of_o good_a no_o mixture_n of_o evil_a no_o mutability_n nor_o fear_v

where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v and_o by_o turn_v the_o will_n from_o desire_v that_o as_o good_a which_o be_v not_o or_o not_o in_o such_o degree_n as_o be_v suppose_v he_o make_v he_o a_o good_a and_o happy_a man_n that_o be_v evil_a and_o miserable_a before_o neither_o do_v he_o create_v a_o will_n in_o man_n but_o change_v the_o will_v he_o find_v in_o he_o that_o it_o may_v affect_v that_o
