fail_v in_o the_o one_o therefore_o they_o prove_v defective_a in_o the_o other_o that_o man_n that_o have_v a_o gracious_a spirit_n he_o can_v easy_o have_v a_o corrupt_a judgement_n in_o those_o

especial_o why_o those_o which_o be_v of_o false_a heart_n shall_v be_v of_o false_a judgement_n in_o religion_n the_o one_o be_v direct_a and_o immediate_a from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o as_o the_o effect_n flow_v from_o its_o proper_a and_o univocal_a cause_n and_o the_o other_o occasional_a and_o consequential_a as_o proceed_v from_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n who_o because_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v therefore_o send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o shall_v believe_v lie_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v as_o a_o improvement_n of_o this_o point_n what_o great_a cause_n we_o every_o one_o have_v to_o make_v this_o work_n sure_a to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v indeed_o such_o person_n as_o
