a_o presumptuousness_n and_o that_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n that_o make_v so_o many_o overween_a folk_n too_o break_v their_o own_o neck_n for_o that_o they_o can_v find_v in_o their_o heart_n too_o grant_v that_o god_n govern_v man_n according_a too_o his_o own_o will_n as_o of_o good_a right_a he_o may_v full_o well_o furthermore_o also_o s._n paul_n have_v heretofore_o set_v the_o jew_n and_o

you_o see_v why_o s._n paul_n say_v express_o that_o they_o which_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n in_o time_n past_a be_v comprehend_v under_o god_n election_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o &_o that_o the_o other_o can_v boast_v themselves_o too_o be_v more_o worthy_a or_o too_o have_v deserve_v more_o than_o they_o but_o that_o all_o must_v come_v too_o this_o point_n that_o as_o well_o

they_o bring_v nothing_o with_o they_o but_o god_n wrath_n and_o curse_n therefore_o like_v as_o in_o those_o text_n s._n paul_n have_v show_v that_o man_n beguile_v themselves_o if_o they_o imagine_v that_o they_o have_v any_o desert_n or_o worthiness_n in_o they_o so_o now_o for_o the_o better_a confirmation_n of_o the_o same_o doctrine_n and_o too_o take_v away_o all_o dispute_v and_o too_o

before_o the_o make_n of_o the_o world_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v too_o mark_v in_o effect_n be_v that_o all_o man_n from_o the_o most_o too_o the_o least_o be_v endanger_v unto_o god_n and_o there_o be_v none_o so_o holy_a or_o excellent_a that_o can_v exempt_v himself_o from_o that_o general_a state_n of_o man_n now_o hereupon_o s._n paul_n magnify_v god_n goodness_n in_o that_o the_o ephesian_n be_v gather_v together_o and_o make_v all_o one_o with_o those_o that_o be_v hold_v and_o account_v afore_o for_o god_n people_n and_o for_o the_o household_n
