the_o faith_n be_v such_o be_v the_o hope_n both_o must_v be_v in_o domino_fw-la in_o the_o lord_n or_o neither_o can_v be_v true_a and_o it_o be_v in_o a_o sort_n with_o the_o denial_n of_o hope_n

whether_o it_o be_v a_o true_a or_o a_o false_a religion_n so_o it_o be_v one_o but_o they_o be_v here_o in_o a_o miserable_a error_n for_o since_o they_o suppose_v a_o religion_n necessary_a as_o they_o must_v my_o text_n will_v turn_v all_o the_o rest_n upon_o they_o that_o true_a religion_n be_v most_o apt_a and_o most_o able_a to_o bless_v and_o honour_v both_o king_n and_o people_n for_o first_o truth_n be_v strong_a than_o falsehood_n and_o will_v so_o prove_v itself_o wheresoever_o it_o be_v not_o prevent_v or_o abuse_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v more_o able_a next_o true_a religion_n breed_v ever_o true_a faith_n and_o true_a hope_n in_o god_n which_o no_o false_a religion_n can_v therefore_o it_o be_v more_o apt_a then_o true_a hope_n and_o faith_n have_v here_o the_o
