in_o well_o do_v and_o such_o be_v his_o weakness_n that_o he_o do_v not_o continue_v whereby_o we_o may_v understand_v what_o be_v in_o man_n if_o he_o be_v leave_v unto_o himself_o and_o not_o uphold_v by_o god_n his_o grace_n the_o second_o degree_n of_o fréewill_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v after_o the_o fall_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n and_o that_o may_v true_o be_v term_v a_o slavish_a will_n be_v as_o i_o may_v say_v free_a and_o most_o far_o from_o do_v well_o and_o most_o unable_a thereunto_o because_o now_o no_o flesh_n that_o be_v man_n and_o woman_n that_o be_v beget_v of_o

know_v whether_o those_o thing_n that_o they_o do_v be_v perfect_o agreeable_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o so_o their_o own_o conscience_n shall_v be_v their_o witness_n and_o thereby_o they_o shall_v accuse_v and_o judge_v themselves_o that_o they_o be_v far_o wide_a and_o although_o in_o the_o outward_a show_n of_o the_o world_n such_o work_n which_o they_o do_v may_v seem_v good_a and_o godly_a yet_o be_v examine_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o by_o the_o straight_a rule_n thereof_o we_o must_v needs_o confess_v and_o acknowledge_v our_o work_n to_o be_v both_o naught_o and_o evil_a so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o proceed_v from_o ourselves_o and_o be_v not_o direct_v by_o god_n which_o direction_n of_o god_n good_a grace_n &_o holy_a spirit_n make_v a_o other_o

overcome_v unless_o they_o be_v sustain_v and_o uphold_v by_o the_o help_n &_o assistance_n of_o god_n which_o help_n which_o gift_n which_o grace_n and_o assistance_n we_o obtain_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n only_o by_o prayer_n and_o by_o a_o steadfast_a faith_n the_o last_o and_o the_o four_o degree_n of_o fréewill_n be_v in_o the_o best_a sort_n of_o people_n and_o that_o after_o this_o
