a_o thousand_o prophecy's_n which_o word_n for_o word_n exact_o be_v accomplish_v and_o reveal_v so_o clear_o that_o they_o must_v not_o be_v conceal_v some_o be_v indeed_o tell_v in_o a_o doubtful_a way_n but_o other_o clear_a as_o sunshine_n at_o midday_n such_o be_v that_o prophecy_n which_o do_v declare_v 7._o that_o cyrus_n shall_v the_o lydian_n beat_v in_o war_n such_o that_o which_o tell_v it_o shall_v the_o fortune_n be_v of_o xerxes_n navy_n to_o be_v beat_v at_o sea_n when_o all_o thing_n promise_v the_o quite_o contrary_a before_o the_o bar_n then_o let_v the_o atheist_n kneel_v and_o take_v conviction_n from_o his_o own_o appeal_n no_o more_o evasion_n can_v he_o hope_v to_o find_v but_o he_o must_v see_v or_o must_v confess_v he_o be_v blind_a for_o as_o when_o light_n will_v enter_v through_o the_o eye_n we_o straight_o conclude_v the_o organ_n be_v amiss_o so_o if_o our_o atheist_n still_o will_v persevere_v and_o neither_o truth_n nor_o solid_a reason_n hear_v we_o must_v conclude_v his_o soul_n so_o full_a of_o sin_n that_o she_o can_v let_v her_o proper_a object_n in_o once_o more_o i_o will_v try_v if_o like_o a_o senseless_a rock_n fix_v and_o unmoved_a he_o will_v stand_v another_o shock_n god_n i_o will_v ply_v he_o but_o with_o one_o more_o argument_n from_o universal_a judgement_n and_o consent_n and_o if_o this_o fail_v to_o work_v upon_o his_o soul_n it_o be_v because_o his_o faculty_n be_v foul_a let_v we_o survey_v the_o universe_n around_o and_o search_v each_o nook_n where_o man_n be_v to_o be_v find_v no_o nation_n shall_v we_o meet_v in_o all_o our_o tour_n that_o do_v not_o some_o divinity_n adore_v of_o this_o divinity_n which_o all_o believe_v too_o few_o there_o be_v that_o do_v aright_o conceive_v yet_o with_o one_o voice_n they_o all_o agree_v in_o this_o god_n be_v although_o they_o know_v not_o what_o he_o be_v some_o attribute_n a_o godhead_n to_o the_o sun_n other_o with_o equal_a honour_n crown_v the_o moon_n some_o to_o a_o monkey_n with_o devotion_n bow_n other_o religious_o adore_v a_o cow_n and_o by_o their_o misplace_a zeal_n show_v they_o agree_v in_o the_o general_n notion_n of_o a_o deity_n great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n believe_v more_o god_n than_o one_o but_o no_o part_n ever_o yet_o profess_v that_o there_o be_v none_o see_v then_o our_o atheist_n all_o the_o world_n oppose_v and_o like_o
