be_v ignorant_a of_o nothing_o natural_a or_o voluntary_a that_o either_o be_v or_o shall_v or_o can_v be_v since_o the_o secret_n of_o all_o man_n heart_n and_o the_o operation_n of_o all_o cause_n

he_o know_v the_o present_a disposition_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o the_o order_n of_o all_o our_o design_n and_o thought_n may_v he_o not_o inject_v his_o motive_n clear_v our_o reason_n prevent_v
