of_o equivocate_a and_o meaning_n by_o jesus_n christ_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o he_o nothing_o but_o god_n then_o what_o havoc_n may_v they_o make_v of_o christian_a religion_n i_o will_v not_o

which_o depend_v upon_o his_o be_v so_o it_o be_v not_o very_o difficult_a to_o demonstrate_v that_o they_o can_v upon_o their_o principle_n believe_v any_o of_o they_o i_o will_v try_v a_o little_a
