that_o which_o bend_v to_o it_o it_o argue_v that_o it_o be_v good_a you_o may_v reject_v my_o definition_n of_o good_a because_o according_a to_o it_o it_o follow_v that_o god_n be_v conserve_v by_o

a_o preservate_a and_o assist_v power_n to_o himself_o without_o which_o we_o can_v continue_v in_o our_o being_n or_o do_v any_o action_n if_o the_o first_o man_n can_v have_v be_v and_o act_v

because_o therein_o man_n have_v still_o something_o in_o he_o through_o which_o he_o resemble_v god_n which_o god_n will_v not_o abolish_v and_o have_v tie_v himself_o through_o his_o bountiful_a

dispute_n of_o freewill_n i_o say_v that_o man_n without_o freewill_n be_v no_o man_n but_o a_o beast_n that_o man_n may_v just_o be_v excuse_v for_o his_o evil_a act_n for_o have_v he_o no_o

to_o act_v evil_a or_o if_o man_n do_v act_v evil_a it_o will_v be_v without_o a_o will_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v no_o sin_n that_o man_n can_v not_o be_v term_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o
