by_o the_o light_n of_o natural_a reason_n know_v and_o confess_v ingratitude_n to_o be_v a_o fault_n yet_o in_o hypothesi_fw-la how_o far_o this_o or_o that_o man_n in_o particular_a be_v guilty_a

of_o those_o person_n to_o who_o those_o truth_n be_v publish_v for_o as_o those_o pagan_n to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v never_o reveal_v as_o to_o many_o nation_n it_o never_o be_v be_v no_o way_n
