inspire_a man_n or_o at_o least_o that_o the_o matter_n therein_o contain_v be_v true_a than_o that_o there_o be_v ever_o such_o a_o man_n as_o alexander_n or_o caesar_n because_o one_o of_o these_o have_v all_o the_o moral_a demonstration_n of_o truth_n the_o other_o have_v namely_o universal_a or_o unanswerable_a humane_a testimony_n both_o of_o friend_n and_o enemy_n and_o yet_o more_o to_o

whatever_o god_n may_v think_v fit_a to_o order_n or_o permit_v in_o extraordinary_a case_n as_o reveal_v injustice_n murder_n etc._n etc._n it_o appear_v both_o fruitless_a dangerous_a and_o irreligious_a to_o expect_v any_o such_o thing_n ordinary_o to_o happen_v since_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n be_v not_o to_o be_v alter_v without_o the_o high_a necessity_n and_o reason_n so_o that_o you_o see_v it_o be_v fruitless_a dangerous_a and_o irreligious_a to_o expect_v our_o friend_n that_o be_v go_v to_o heaven_n or_o hell_n though_o they_o still_o know_v and_o love_v we_o

this_o be_v the_o common_a plea_n of_o mortal_n here_o we_o know_v and_o be_v know_v and_o all_o the_o erterprise_n we_o take_v in_o hand_n we_o have_v the_o satisfaction_n of_o reflection_n and_o a_o
