there_o two_o sort_n of_o man_n felicity_n the_o one_o which_o we_o may_v call_v active_a and_o thereof_o do_v aristotle_n write_v in_o his_o first_o book_n of_o ethic_n and_o the_o other_o which_o

this_o be_v the_o last_o end_n of_o predestination_n shadow_v unto_o we_o by_o paul_n in_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o potter_n which_o have_v power_n to_o make_v one_o vessel_n to_o honour_n and_o

further_o that_o the_o unclean_a spirit_n be_v drive_v out_o by_o exorcism_n they_o thereby_o confirm_v because_o with_o their_o cry_n they_o testify_v themselves_o to_o be_v torment_v and_o il_fw-mi
