humane_a and_o fallible_a motive_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o i_o can_v have_v no_o supernatural_a faith_n at_o all_o even_o concern_v that_o one_o single_a article_n of_o catholic_a

not_o do_v upon_o that_o motive_n which_o only_o can_v make_v a_o act_n of_o true_a and_o supernatural_a faith_n and_o thus_o it_o shall_v suffice_v i_o to_o have_v prove_v according_a to_o the_o
