face_n nor_o his_o soul_n be_v of_o his_o own_o fashion_v thus_o force_n be_v most_o improper_a in_o relation_n to_o conscience_n not_o only_o because_o it_o ought_v not_o but_o because_o it_o can_v

therefore_o since_o violence_n have_v be_v ineffectual_a the_o king_n be_v please_v to_o propose_v a_o soft_a method_n for_o the_o peace_n of_o his_o subject_n since_o conscience_n can_v conform_v to_o the_o law_n already_o make_v his_o majesty_n propose_v law_n that_o may_v conform_v to_o the_o conscience_n and_o since_o a_o king_n proposal_n be_v virtual_o his_o command_n every_o good_a

to_o mankind_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n than_o of_o a_o triumphant_a monarch_n and_o the_o reason_n may_v be_v assign_v because_o if_o the_o christian_a religion_n have_v assault_v man_n with_o violent_a power_n it_o have_v persuade_v they_o that_o it_o contain_v some_o secret_a weakness_n and_o the_o world_n will_v have_v conjecture_v that_o that_o piety_n be_v a_o mere_a imposture_n

be_v what_o you_o will_v yet_o the_o sanguinary_a method_n must_v be_v unreasonable_a for_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o right_n they_o suffer_v as_o martyr_n and_o you_o be_v guilty_a of_o
