in_o text_n of_o controversy_n of_o this_o time_n or_o of_o such_o doubt_n as_o hereafter_o may_v rise_v since_o a_o certainty_n of_o a_o error_n in_o one_o place_n do_v imply_v a_o possibility_n of_o

by_o these_o all_o doubt_n and_o controversy_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n be_v to_o be_v determine_v this_o shift_n be_v more_o feeble_a than_o the_o former_a first_o because_o it_o be_v
