and_o trust_n in_o he_o be_v a_o admirable_a instrument_n for_o subdue_a kingdom_n will_v appear_v true_a beyond_o contraction_n whether_o we_o confider_v it_o in_o its_o own_o natural_a tendency_n

in_o its_o own_o natural_a tendency_n the_o belief_n and_o persuasion_n of_o a_o invincible_a arm_n to_o assist_v we_o seem_v admirable_o fit_v for_o the_o advance_v of_o any_o undertake_n whether_o

to_o it_o for_o in_o the_o usual_a course_n of_o thing_n believe_v and_o conquer_v do_v general_o go_v together_o and_o a_o firm_a persuasion_n that_o we_o shall_v succeed_v be_v a_o considerable_a

all_o the_o world_n do_v act_n either_o more_o faint_o or_o vigorous_o according_a to_o the_o persuasion_n of_o their_o own_o strength_n agreeable_o to_o the_o prospect_n they_o form_n of_o and_o the_o event_n of_o thing_n if_o a_o soldier_n through_o the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o weakness_n of_o his_o party_n be_v distract_v with_o fear_n and_o doubt_n about_o the_o issue_n and_o
