espouse_v any_o new_a opinion_n and_o in_o those_o time_n all_o the_o great_a innovation_n and_o embroilment_n among_o man_n be_v set_v up_o by_o the_o stoic_n and_o platonist_n who_o be_v high_o

man_n the_o less_o willing_a to_o censure_v those_o for_o atheist_n who_o doubt_v or_o deny_v it_o but_o sociable_o to_o admit_v they_o into_o business_n and_o trust_n of_o the_o high_a importance_n the_o chineses_n have_v a_o religious_a sect_n call_v the_o nantolines_n who_o preach_v up_o public_o the_o soul_n mortality_n also_o at_o this_o day_n in_o the_o east-indies_n where_o the_o great_a
