shall_v be_v bring_v to_o judgement_n and_o other_o not_o wherefore_o if_o it_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o man_n have_v a_o understand_a soul_n than_o it_o be_v also_o sure_a that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n god_n will_v bring_v thou_o to_o judgement_n that_o god_n shall_v bring_v to_o judgement_n every_o secret_a thing_n and_o now_o how_o sure_a and_o evident_a be_v these_o thing_n more_o sure_a and_o more_o plain_a if_o we_o will_v attend_v than_o any_o other_o truth_n in_o the_o world_n for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o know_a truth_n which_o do_v not_o evict_v the_o truth_n of_o these_o thing_n we_o know_v a_o truth_n because_o we_o plain_o and_o evident_o understand_v the_o composition_n or_o division_n of_o the_o notion_n in_o a_o proposition_n or_o the_o deduction_n of_o a_o proposition_n from_o some_o other_o therefore_o if_o we_o know_v any_o truth_n we_o presuppose_v that_o we_o have_v soul_n which_o understand_v the_o notion_n of_o thing_n and_o if_o soul_n which_o understand_v these_o notion_n then_o to_o be_v sure_o they_o be_v not_o body_n no_o combination_n os_fw-la fire_n and_o air_n and_o earth_n and_o water_n no_o

subject_a to_o corruption_n it_o be_v evident_a therefore_o that_o our_o soul_n be_v understanding_n and_o also_o immortal_a deserve_v and_o capable_a of_o future_a judgement_n and_o as_o evident_a it_o be_v also_o that_o there_o be_v a_o sovereign_a power_n a_o god_n that_o govern_v and_o will_v judge_v the_o earth_n this_o be_v not_o a_o rhetorical_a undertake_n but_o a_o just_a and_o
