but_o if_o compact_n with_o those_o of_o different_a commonwealth_n whether_o prince_n or_o subject_n be_v of_o so_o little_a force_n let_v we_o see_v whether_o they_o will_v signify_v any_o more_o

state_n of_o nature_n in_o which_o state_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o any_o man_n to_o doubt_v of_o another_o fidelity_n but_o whether_o a_o man_n just_o fear_v that_o another_o will_v not_o perform_v

the_o other_o shall_v break_v his_o faith_n with_o he_o and_o that_o very_o just_o whilst_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o only_a judge_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o his_o reason_n which_o be_v always_o suppose_a to_o be_v right_a may_v not_o only_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o need_v not_o perform_v his_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o also_o that_o it_o be_v absolute_o void_a if_o he_o think_v fit_a
