of_o equal_a folly_n with_o he_o that_o affirm_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v true_a though_o he_o do_v not_o know_v it_o to_o be_v so_o but_o upon_o hear-say_n or_o by_o the_o dictate_v of_o his_o own_o

which_o be_v this_o that_o this_o revelation_n of_o god_n as_o one_o single_a be_v or_o person_n be_v agree_v to_o the_o notion_n taat_fw-mi i_o have_v of_o god_n in_o my_o mind_n by_o my_o reason_n

that_o according_a to_o that_o measure_n of_o reason_n that_o god_n have_v give_v i_o this_o argument_n seem_v most_o unreasonable_a and_o absurd_a and_o it_o be_v to_o believe_v a_o man_n notion_n

to_o introduce_v this_o say_v or_o notion_n of_o he_o and_o produce_v it_o as_o a_o argument_n or_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o i_o have_v
