the_o matter_n of_o this_o article_n be_v not_o a_o question_n of_o religion_n but_o a_o simple_a and_o mere_a question_n of_o estate_n and_o policy_n as_o if_o to_o handle_v how_o far_o the_o

the_o second_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o the_o pagan_a emperor_n under_o who_o the_o church_n begin_v to_o lay_v she_o first_o foundation_n and_o to_o
