this_o fallacy_n of_o her_o declination_n persuade_v that_o with_o her_o strength_n her_o end_n be_v change_v since_o pride_n have_v never_o such_o a_o elevation_n as_o when_o aspire_v superstition_n

let_v not_o this_o gather_a mass_n of_o superstition_n who_o true_a base_a be_v fear_n lurk_v and_o by_o false_a faith_n bring_v her_o end_n to_o pass_v or_o to_o the_o world_n such_o threaten_a

that_o by_o her_o wisdom_n they_o may_v fashion_v they_o when_o to_o be_v merciful_a when_o merciless_a time_n have_v teach_v she_o to_o use_v hope_n and_o fear_n power_n and_o wit_n that_o each_o

use_v when_o by_o confession_n
