in_o this_o as_o ill_a luck_n will_v have_v it_o the_o heresy_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o jansenius_n which_o they_o will_v universal_o establish_v be_v one_o of_o those_o impossible_a thing_n since_o to_o persuade_v the_o world_n of_o it_o they_o must_v of_o course_n change_v the_o common_a sense_n of_o man_n so_o as_o in_o spite_n of_o they_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o adversary_n must_v of_o
