will_v you_o prove_v that_o the_o four_o cause_n have_v here_o no_o place_n a._n you_o may_v of_o yourself_o have_v observe_v that_o already_o in_o that_o there_o be_v no_o fit_a and_o sufficient_a

in_o witness_n of_o the_o religion_n deliver_v by_o he_o he_o be_v by_o god_n raise_v from_o the_o dead_a q._n how_o know_v you_o that_o he_o do_v miracle_n and_o that_o those_o miracle_n be_v

that_o those_o miracle_n be_v divine_a you_o will_v easy_o acknowledge_v when_o i_o shall_v have_v show_v that_o he_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a by_o god_n for_o since_o he_o affirm_v that_o

he_o to_o have_v be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a they_o suffer_v many_o calamity_n and_o some_o lose_v their_o very_a life_n again_o a_o innumerable_a multitude_n of_o other_o receive_v the_o same_o from_o those_o that_o go_v before_o do_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n endure_v very_o great_a calamity_n and_o most_o exquisite_a death_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v necessary_o either_o that_o
