in_o case_n of_o a_o failure_n or_o non-performance_n and_o so_o this_o work_n be_v still_o in_o the_o dark_a moreover_o we_o may_v conceive_v ourselves_o safe_a from_o such_o a_o machination_n of_o

the_o destruction_n of_o the_o innocent_a may_v be_v compensated_a by_o the_o advantage_n which_o follow_v then_o it_o be_v not_o only_o evident_o lawful_a but_o so_o far_o as_o the_o good_a exceed_v
