be_v guilty_a of_o the_o fact_n by_o he_o so_o deny_v whoever_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n must_v believe_v he_o to_o be_v truth_n and_o justice_n itself_o and_o therefore_o he_o must_v know_v there_o can_v be_v no_o treason_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n commit_v against_o his_o divine_a essence_n then_o sacrilegious_o to_o abuse_v and_o set_v his_o holy_a name_n to_o a_o lie_n and_o also_o

most_o impossible_a it_o be_v that_o all_o those_o die_a man_n upon_o the_o score_n of_o the_o plot_n believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n shall_v vouch_v he_o as_o a_o witness_n and_o garanty_n of_o

it_o remain_v then_o to_o consider_v whither_o these_o die_a man_n do_v believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n if_o we_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v papist_n the_o question_n be_v at_o a_o end_n since_o all_o mankind_n know_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n however_o it_o may_v err_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o worship_v he_o for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n they_o can_v not_o err_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o worship_v he_o so_o that_o if_o they_o die_v ●●●ists_n they_o believe_v in_o god_n now_o that_o they_o die_v papist_n i_o

belief_n be_v by_o his_o profession_n of_o it_o and_o at_o what_o time_n can_v such_o profession_n be_v of_o strong_a evidence_n then_o at_o the_o hour_n of_o his_o death_n there_o be_v another_o weighty_a reason_n to_o demonstrate_v a_o posterior_n that_o those_o execute_v person_n do_v believe_v in_o god_n for_o all_o atheist_n as_o such_o must_v of_o necessity_n love_v this_o present_a life_n as_o their_o supreme_a felicity_n for_o death_n with_o they_o be_v a_o end_n of_o all_o be_v and_o therefore_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o life_n their_o summum_fw-la bonum_fw-la their_o be_v nothing_o in_o their_o power_n which_o they_o will_v not_o do_v whence_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o if_o those_o man_n have_v be_v atheist_n they_o will_v certain_o have_v confess_v a_o plot_n and_o will_v have_v impeach_v other_o whereby_o their_o own_o life_n may_v have_v be_v preserve_v now_o than_o the_o question_n in_o short_a will_v be_v whether_o more_o credit_n ought_v to_o be_v
