will_v make_v he_o but_o the_o more_o conceit_a of_o himself_o for_o while_o he_o be_v treat_v as_o a_o man_n of_o reason_n he_o will_v take_v encouragement_n to_o shuffle_v off_o all_o that_o can_v

these_o discourse_n be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o other_o to_o confirm_v their_o faith_n and_o assist_v they_o upon_o every_o observation_n of_o those_o thing_n from_o whence_o the_o author_n

of_o it_o it_o be_v therefore_o the_o magistrate_n work_v chief_o to_o convert_v this_o apostate_n and_o we_o can_v sufficient_o lament_v it_o that_o while_o humane_a law_n be_v so_o jealous_a of_o
