tolerable_a safety_n every_o man_n enjoy_v his_o own_o without_o government_n it_o will_v seem_v a_o unworthy_a disparagement_n and_o reflection_n upon_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n to_o have_v leave_v the_o world_n without_o any_o such_o provision_n for_o the_o quiet_a and_o security_n of_o it_o thus_o whatever_o the_o form_n of_o government_n may_v be_v which_o be_v different_a in_o
