wicked_a man_n he_o be_v not_o worship_v withsumptuous_a cost_n neither_o be_v he_o delight_v with_o the_o sight_n of_o solemn_a tragedy_n as_o a_o wicked_a man_n be_v but_o his_o delight_n be_v in_o

more_o neither_o dare_v i_o undertake_v for_o he_o that_o he_o speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o call_v god_n elohim_n as_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v god_n because_o of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o most_o reverend_a trinity_n and_o yet_o i_o know_v very_o well_o that_o learned_a man_n of_o our_o religion_n have_v go_v about_o to_o prove_v even_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o gentile_n that_o the_o gentile_n also_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n the_o second_o be_v that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o i_o can_v see_v seneca_n with_o the_o other_o wise_a man_n of_o the_o gentile_n do_v not_o express_o set_v down_o and_o teach_v the_o sound_n trust_v and_o confidence_n that_o shall_v be_v have_v in_o god._n moreover_o there_o be_v not_o

of_o numa_n pompilius_n say_v as_o for_o the_o decree_n that_o numa_n make_v touch_v image_n of_o the_o immortal_a god_n how_o like_a be_v they_o almost_o in_o every_o point_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o pythagoras_n pythagoras_n thought_n that_o that_o first_o beginning_n he_o mean_v god_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o sense_n or_o any_o troublesome_a affection_n but_o be_v a_o invisible_a and_o
