that_o those_o who_o give_v no_o credit_n to_o a_o set_v stand_v revelation_n of_o god_n once_o well_o attest_v or_o be_v not_o thereby_o prevail_v upon_o to_o reform_v their_o evil_a manner_n

to_o make_v out_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o there_o be_v real_o more_o force_n and_o weight_n in_o a_o public_a stand_a revelation_n of_o god_n such_o as_o that_o be_v by_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n here_o mention_v to_o convince_v man_n or_o to_o reclaim_v they_o than_o there_o can_v be_v in_o a_o private_a miracle_n though_o i_o see_v it_o with_o my_o eye_n and_o second_o

do_v to_o put_v off_o the_o ordinary_a stand_a motive_n and_o argument_n of_o religion_n and_o consequent_o there_o be_v little_a probability_n that_o he_o who_o be_v not_o gain_v by_o the_o former_a will_v be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o the_o latter_a i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o thing_n that_o there_o be_v real_o more_o force_n and_o weight_n in_o a_o public_a stand_a revelation_n of_o god_n to_o convince_v man_n or_o to_o reclaim_v they_o than_o there_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v in_o a_o private_a single_a miracle_n though_o a_o man_n see_v it_o with_o his_o eye_n or_o than_o there_o can_v be_v in_o a_o apparition_n from_o the_o dead_a if_o god_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o vouchsafe_v such_o a_o thing_n in_o speak_v to_o this_o i_o mean_v not_o to_o concern_v myself_o or_o you_o with_o the_o revelation_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n though_o that_o be_v the_o revelation_n which_o the_o text_n here_o speak_v of_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v more_o
