the_o principle_n and_o order_n of_o our_o establish_v church_n can_v we_o thus_o far_o prevail_v i_o be_o very_o parsuade_v that_o those_o heat_n and_o passion_n which_o now_o so_o tumultuous_o

their_o own_o sense_n and_o calm_o and_o sedate_o to_o look_v into_o her_o devotion_n the_o church_n do_v then_o to_o their_o unbiased_a judgement_n most_o clear_o unfold_v her_o ravish_a beauty_n
