be_v write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o any_o of_o the_o jew_n or_o gentile_n for_o doubtless_o adam_n by_o nature_n know_v that_o which_o corrupt_a man_n never_o so_o perfect_o know_v and_o it_o be_v

a_o express_a positive_a law_n to_o know_v it_o or_o discover_v it_o to_o he_o i_o infer_v much_o more_o need_n there_o be_v for_o poor_a gentile_n nay_o for_o believer_n to_o have_v a_o express_a law_n to_o discover_v it_o to_o they_o and_o since_o our_o opponent_n affirm_v that_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o precise_a seven_o day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o
