be_v to_o discourse_v about_o to_o invent_v and_o agree_v upon_o it_o and_o then_o to_o remember_v they_o and_o then_o to_o use_v they_o and_o then_o much_o more_o will_v the_o difficulty_n increase_v be_v these_o two_o in_o the_o case_n of_o adam_n and_o eve_n and_o to_o beat_v out_o the_o track_n which_o never_o any_o walk_v in_o before_o to_o invent_v speech_n itself_o and_o word_n to_o be_v

to_o revelation_n 2._o another_o instance_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v what_o be_v usual_o call_v common_a notion_n or_o natural_a impression_n common_a notion_n because_o they_o be_v common_a to_o all_o

the_o belief_n of_o a_o god_n a_o adoration_n to_o be_v give_v to_o he_o and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o essential_a difference_n between_o good_a and_o evil_a so_o that_o good_a can_v by_o any_o art_n

of_o they_o it_o be_v as_o undeniable_a that_o these_o notion_n or_o impression_n be_v so_o early_o to_o be_v discover_v and_o do_v so_o grow_v up_o with_o our_o reason_n that_o they_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o our_o reason_n but_o rather_o to_o be_v antecedent_n to_o it_o and_o that_o it_o be_v rather_o what_o we_o find_v than_o what_o we_o choose_v what_o belong_v to_o our_o

call_v conscience_n excuse_v or_o else_o accuse_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n whether_o good_a or_o evil_n now_o as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n must_v be_v before_o our_o conception_n of_o they_o so_o both_o must_v be_v before_o we_o pass_v this_o practical_a judgement_n upon_o they_o and_o if_o we_o do_v exercise_v this_o faculty_n antecedent_n to_o all_o
