out_o such_o inference_n as_o flow_v from_o that_o connexion_n now_o though_o we_o be_v liable_a to_o great_a abuse_n both_o in_o our_o judgement_n and_o inference_n yet_o if_o we_o apply_v these_o

there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o to_o be_v christian_n or_o to_o be_v as_o they_o will_v have_v we_o romanist_n and_o if_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v there_o be_v cause_n in_o some_o case_n for_o we_o to_o
