by_o his_o grace_n so_o pre-dispose_a the_o soul_n to_o a_o aptness_n for_o good_a as_o by_o our_o natural_a corruption_n we_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v habitual_o incline_v to_o evil_a though_o not_o

be_v inherent_a in_o the_o soul_n long_o before_o for_o want_n of_o the_o use_n of_o reason_n we_o be_v in_o capacity_n to_o act_n either_o as_o be_v also_o the_o rational_a faculty_n before_o we_o

of_o faulty_a parent_n prove_v lewd_a and_o debauch_a person_n though_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v it_o may_v be_v a_o effect_n of_o not_o devote_v they_o to_o god_n by_o baptism_n and_o a_o
