the_o present_a case_n for_o the_o age_n be_v sufficient_o weary_v out_o with_o distinction_n and_o term_n of_o art_n which_o like_o dry_a bone_n knit_v together_o only_o make_v a_o skeleton_n not_o

this_o i_o can_v instance_n in_o some_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o say_v all_o argument_n like_a arrow_n to_o which_o a_o plume_n be_v no_o less_o necessary_a than_o a_o ponderous_a metal_n whilst_o one_o give_v it_o flight_n the_o other_o make_v the_o wound_n such_o necessary_a levity_n at_o least_o may_v be_v pardonable_a but_o scurrility_n be_v a_o vice_n in_o moral_n much_o more_o in_o religion_n however_o a_o sharp_a and_o severe_a way_n of_o argue_v must_v not_o be_v omit_v for_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o the_o priest_n as_o a_o acid_n humour_n to_o the_o stomach_n

to_o proceed_v from_o a_o unwarrantable_a usurpation_n of_o the_o right_n of_o natural_a reason_n the_o church_n have_v not_o be_v so_o effectual_o undermine_v by_o any_o method_n as_o by_o
