to_o mankind_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n than_o of_o a_o triumphant_a monarch_n and_o the_o reason_n may_v be_v assign_v because_o if_o the_o christian_a religion_n have_v assault_v man_n with_o violent_a power_n it_o have_v persuade_v they_o that_o it_o contain_v some_o secret_a weakness_n and_o the_o world_n will_v have_v conjecture_v that_o that_o piety_n be_v a_o mere_a imposture_n
