have_v a_o life_n beyond_o it_o and_o the_o grave_a and_o something_o in_o it_o prompt_v i_o to_o believe_v its_o immortality_n a_o residence_n it_o must_v have_v somewhere_o else_o when_o it_o have_v leave_v this_o carcase_n and_o another_o state_n to_o pass_v into_o unchangeable_a and_o everlasting_a as_o itself_o after_o its_o separation_n this_o condition_n must_v be_v good_a or_o bad_a according_a to_o its_o action_n and_o desert_n in_o this_o life_n for_o as_o it_o owe_v its_o be_v to_o some_o infinite_a power_n that_o create_v it_o i_o well_o suppose_v it_o his_o vassal_n and_o oblige_v to_o live_v by_o his_o law_n and_o as_o certain_o conclude_v that_o according_a to_o the_o keep_n or_o break_v of_o that_o law_n it_o be_v to_o be_v reward_v or_o punish_v hereafter_o this_o

too_o cruel_o convince_v i_o and_o the_o anticipation_n of_o its_o torment_n which_o i_o already_o feel_v in_o my_o own_o conscience_n there_o be_v there_o be_v a_o hell_n and_o damn_a fiend_n and_o a_o never-dying_a worm_n and_o that_o sceptic_a that_o doubt_n of_o it_o may_v find_v they_o all_o within_o my_o single_a breast_n i_o dare_v not_o any_o long_o with_o the_o atheist_n disbelieve_v they_o or_o think_v they_o the_o clergy_n bugbear_n invent_v as_o nurse_n do_v frightful_a name_n for_o their_o child_n to_o scare_v they_o into_o quietness_n and_o obedience_n how_o oft_o have_v i_o

only_o to_o feel_v pain_n i_o must_v be_v ady_v to_o all_o eternity_n and_o live_v ever_o to_o live_v ever_o wretched_a oh_o that_o nature_n have_v place_v i_o in_o the_o rank_n of_o thing_n that_o

and_o toil_n of_o a_o long_a and_o tedious_a journey_n where_o life_n afford_v nothing_o of_o accommodation_n to_o invite_v one_o stay_n happy_a have_v i_o be_v if_o i_o have_v expire_v with_o my_o
