of_o he_o be_v ▪_o i_o have_v think_v it_o expedient_a first_o to_o consider_v what_o thing_n god_n be_v it_o be_v a_o most_o easy_a thing_n to_o know_v that_o god_n be_v or_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n since_o that_o there_o be_v no_o nation_n so_o barbarous_a but_o that_o it_o beleve_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n be_v a_o general_a knowledge_n that_o god_n have_v so_o imprint_v in_o y_z e_z heart_n of_o all_o man_n that_o if_o the_o man_n have_v any_o judgement_n at_o all_o it_o behove_v he_o with_o the_o hart_n to_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n for_o albeit_o there_o have_v be_v many_o wicked_a which_o with_o their_o mouth_n have_v say_v there_o be_v no_o god_n nevertheless_o the_o self_n same_o when_o they_o have_v fall_v into_o any_o peril_n or_o necessity_n have_v be_v enforce_v of_o that_o only_a light_n and_o religion_n of_o god_n to_o recommend_v themselves_o unto_o he_o so_o that_o we_o must_v of_o force_n repute_v he_o a_o very_a ydeote_n xi●i_fw-la that_o deni_v god_n and_o be_v therefore_o a_o evident_a and_o easy_a thing_n to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n we_o must_v now_o travail_v to_o know_v though_o it_o be_v most_o hard_o to_o know_v what_o that_o god_n be_v many_o have_v be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v imagine_v what_o god_n be_v because_o infiniteli_a above_o all_o proporcyon_n he_o excede_v
