one_o of_o which_o revelation_n teach_v and_o sense_n or_o reason_n the_o other_o be_v true_a at_o least_o to_o the_o same_o degree_n as_o the_o truth_n which_o we_o learn_v by_o reason_n and_o

the_o heaven_n round_o or_o that_o the_o whole_a be_v big_a than_o its_o part_n now_o we_o demand_v no_o more_o for_o our_o design_n for_o we_o employ_v the_o most_o part_n of_o these_o discourse_n

of_o belief_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o some_o truth_n and_o then_o one_o ought_v to_o hold_v it_o for_o false_a of_o what_o condition_n or_o origine_fw-la
