comparative_o these_o thing_n be_v thus_o premise_v i_o come_v to_o the_o conclusion_n 1._o reprobation_n whether_o consider_v definite_o or_o indefinite_o contain_v both_o the_o decree_n and_o

some_o and_o not_o all_o according_a to_o both_o the_o negative_a and_o affirmative_a act_n be_v not_o the_o foresee_a sin_n of_o any_o but_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o first_o god_n do_v foresee_v
