for_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o incomprehensible_a attribute_n of_o god_n they_o will_v all_o inflame_v we_o with_o fervent_a desire_n to_o read_v it_o and_o infallible_a demonstration_n to_o

believe_v it_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o john_n his_o revelation_n or_o daniel_n his_o we_o shall_v doubtless_o read_v it_o according_a to_o these_o several_a follow_a direction_n for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a daniel_n and_o other_o of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n be_v more_o sure_a that_o their_o revelation_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n than_o we_o be_v that_o the_o
