that_o produce_v in_o their_o body_n these_o motion_n without_o reason_n &_o even_o against_o the_o secret_a reproach_n of_o their_o reason_n oblige_v god_n in_o consequence_n of_o his_o general_a

offend_v he_o but_o they_o only_o use_v this_o violence_n by_o the_o love_n they_o have_v for_o particular_a good_a so_o this_o love_n offend_v god_n for_o all_o those_o who_o love_v their_o
