and_o first_o we_o may_v mean_v by_o peace_n either_o that_o reconciliation_n which_o be_v make_v with_o god_n or_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o this_o which_o be_v nothing_o but_o tranquillity_n

we_o shall_v understand_v the_o sense_n of_o god_n favour_n and_o the_o declaration_n of_o it_o in_o our_o conscience_n as_o by_o their_o argument_n they_o must_v do_v than_o it_o prove_v against_o

state_n dissoluble_a or_o indissoluble_a and_o if_o so_o then_o that_o neither_o great_a sin_n or_o less_o shall_v break_v it_o and_o this_o make_v we_o to_o wonder_v how_o david_n in_o his_o
