sufficient_a for_o we_o to_o be_v establish_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o own_o but_o yet_o this_o comparison_n i_o may_v modest_o make_v that_o there_o be_v no_o one_o profession_n amid_o the_o

that_o if_o some_o man_n conception_n be_v put_v in_o practice_n that_o all_o wise_a man_n shall_v have_v two_o religion_n the_o one_o a_o public_a for_o their_o conformity_n with_o the_o people_n
