from_o these_o two_o instance_n it_o do_v appear_v that_o there_o be_v reason_n enough_o for_o we_o to_o suspect_v at_o least_o that_o they_o have_v act_v crafty_o and_o against_o the_o light_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o so_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o they_o do_v still_o and_o that_o they_o may_v know_v themselves_o the_o falsehood_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o will_v fain_o have_v we_o to_o believe_v and_o perhaps_o for_o varro_n and_o scaevola_n reason_n because_o it_o be_v fit_a sometime_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v deceive_v in_o their_o religion_n for_o peace_n and_o quietness_n sake_n but_o yet_o what_o if_o the_o ruler_n of_o these_o people_n be_v of_o the_o same_o faith_n with_o their_o vassal_n it_o be_v no_o argument_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o their_o creed_n because_o great_a and_o learned_a man_n have_v believe_v it_o for_o great_a and_o learned_a man_n may_v be_v and_o have_v be_v deceive_v that_o great_a philosopher_n zeno_n do_v

flame_n now_o all_o that_o we_o can_v collect_v from_o these_o and_o the_o like_a instance_n be_v that_o man_n be_v a_o most_o senseless_a creature_n when_o god_n give_v he_o up_o to_o his_o own_o conduct_n and_o management_n especial_o if_o he_o be_v blind_v too_o by_o he_o that_o rule_v in_o darkness_n magnus_fw-la deus_fw-la est_fw-la error_n as_o luther_n say_v error_n be_v a_o god_n
