be_v able_a to_o give_v they_o a_o heart_n to_o perceive_v and_o eye_n to_o see_v and_o ear_n to_o hear_v but_o yet_o because_o we_o do_v not_o speak_v in_o the_o same_o measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n

of_o both_o yet_o the_o proposition_n be_v utter_o untrue_a for_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o a_o man_n do_v not_o as_o yet_o believe_v therefore_o god_n have_v decree_v to_o deny_v he_o

that_o the_o reason_n indeed_o be_v either_o because_o god_n have_v not_o decree_v at_o all_o to_o give_v they_o faith_n or_o because_o the_o time_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v for_o their_o
