how_o religion_n and_o it_o only_o can_v secure_v government_n from_o their_o bad_a effect_n time_n will_v not_o allow_v i_o to_o make_v good_a all_o i_o be_o to_o say_v from_o history_n but_o those_o who_o know_v mankind_n will_v easy_o see_v the_o dependence_n of_o these_o effect_n from_o the_o cause_n i_o go_v to_o name_n and_o such_o as_o have_v read_v history_n will_v find_v the_o
