he_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n they_o can_v never_o fall_v for_o he_o have_v build_v they_o upon_o a_o rock_n on_o the_o contrary_a how_o do_v vice_n natural_o tend_v to_o debase_v man_n spirit_n

than_o to_o settle_v and_o confirm_v they_o in_o it_o this_o objection_n i_o confess_v be_v home_o to_o the_o business_n and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v may_v pass_v for_o nothing_o but_o let_v we_o examine_v those_o reason_n which_o seem_v to_o prop_v up_o this_o opinion_n and_o they_o be_v these_o that_o follow_v first_o that_o by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o

the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v discover_v many_o useless_a part_n of_o the_o creation_n this_o have_v be_v frequent_a in_o the_o mouth_n of_o bad_a man_n and_o be_v a_o opinion_n which_o
