touch_v great_a matter_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o objection_n it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o the_o suppose_a difference_n between_o those_o who_o the_o treatiser_n call_v flaccian_o and_o the_o other_o who_o he_o name_v synergist_n be_v touch_v the_o co-operation_n of_o the_o will_n of_o man_n with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o her_o first_o conversion_n unto_o god_n and_o the_o

2_o it_o be_v likewise_o agree_v on_o by_o both_o sort_n that_o man_n by_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n and_o in_o the_o state_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o only_o wound_v in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o soul_n

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
