scripture_n be_v not_o in_o be_v yet_o people_n may_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o they_o be_v not_o only_o in_o the_o capacity_n that_o the_o gentile_n be_v who_o know_v and_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o show_v forth_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n but_o also_o in_o the_o capacity_n that_o the_o father_n of_o old_a be_v who_o do_v not_o
