church_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v a_o opinion_n probable_a so_o as_o to_o secure_v the_o conscience_n in_o follow_v it_o but_o then_o i_o add_v the_o jesuit_n have_v one_o of_o their_o own_o famous_a

must_v be_v by_o a_o secret_a meaning_n for_o if_o he_o be_v such_o a_o fool_n to_o tell_v the_o world_n what_o he_o mean_v he_o spoil_v the_o game_n and_o these_o secret_a meaning_n be_v reducible_a

3._o i_o will_v note_v that_o not_o only_o the_o preservation_n of_o life_n or_o honour_n or_o good_n be_v a_o sufficient_a warrant_n to_o use_v these_o equivocation_n and_o mental_a reservation_n
