not_o only_o publish_v his_o doctrine_n and_o repeat_v his_o miracle_n to_o every_o age_n but_o to_o every_o individual_a man_n of_o every_o age_n otherwise_o all_o man_n have_v not_o opportunity_n of_o be_v convince_v by_o their_o sense_n and_o consequent_o can_v not_o upon_o reasonable_a ground_n believe_v in_o he_o but_o if_o this_o supposition_n be_v absurd_a as_o it_o certain_o be_v then_o

of_o those_o witness_n faithful_o transmit_v down_o to_o posterity_n and_o how_o any_o testimony_n can_v be_v more_o faithful_o transmit_v than_o by_o the_o way_n of_o write_v let_v they_o show_v we_o if_o they_o can_v and_o then_o as_o for_o the_o book_n or_o write_n that_o we_o refer_v you_o to_o in_o this_o case_n we_o ask_v no_o more_o for_o the_o gain_v credit_n to_o they_o than_o only_o

or_o such_o like_a writer_n who_o though_o they_o be_v very_o good_a author_n yet_o take_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o what_o they_o say_v from_o uncertain_a report_n much_o less_o do_v we_o send_v you_o to_o a_o golden_a legend_n or_o the_o live_v of_o the_o saint_n as_o they_o have_v be_v write_v of_o late_a day_n by_o man_n who_o take_v advantage_n of_o the_o ignorance_n and_o credulity_n of_o the_o age_n they_o live_v in_o to_o obtrude_v what_o they_o please_v upon_o the_o world_n but_o we_o send_v you_o to_o author_n who_o themselves_o know_v and_o be_v witness_n of_o what_o they_o

that_o their_o write_n be_v esteem_v the_o platform_n and_o standard_n of_o true_a faith_n and_o upon_o which_o they_o set_v so_o high_a a_o value_n that_o they_o will_v keep_v they_o at_o the_o

the_o distance_n of_o near_o seventeen_o hundred_o year_n will_v have_v prevail_v with_o we_o to_o embrace_v his_o religion_n but_o now_o when_o we_o see_v and_o be_v convince_v that_o so_o many_o
