2._o 10._o 23._o i_o think_v fit_a to_o enlarge_v upon_o this_o particular_a 1._o because_o it_o be_v the_o subject_a of_o many_o controversy_n easy_o reconcilable_a if_o man_n make_v use_v of_o

three_o because_o many_o book_n of_o mr._n keith_n and_o other_o to_o which_o this_o be_v a_o answer_n tend_v more_o than_o ever_o before_o towards_o the_o establish_n of_o a_o sufficiency_n of_o
