and_o not_o be_v hardy_a enough_o to_o sacrifice_v his_o own_o life_n in_o the_o cause_n and_o a_o thousand_o other_o accident_n which_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o i_o to_o reckon_v up_o may_v

all_o the_o great_a change_n and_o revolution_n of_o public_a affair_n unless_o these_o man_n be_v of_o the_o privy-council_n of_o heaven_n and_o can_v hold_v intelligence_n with_o the_o secret_a

if_o god_n take_v any_o care_n of_o human_a affair_n if_o he_o concern_v himself_o at_o all_o in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n we_o may_v certain_o conclude_v that_o his_o providence_n do_v

can_v doubt_v whether_o he_o rule_v and_o govern_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o man_n whether_o he_o who_o take_v care_n of_o every_o particular_a creature_n take_v care_n of_o the_o general_a

who_o life_n and_o fortune_n the_o life_n and_o fortune_n of_o so_o many_o thousand_o depend_v and_o therefore_o no_o man_n can_v reasonable_o promise_v himself_o success_n in_o plot_v against_o his_o prince_n but_o he_o who_o certain_o know_v that_o god_n for_o some_o wise_a but_o hide_a reason_n will_v suffer_v such_o a_o villainy_n to_o take_v effect_n which_o no_o man_n can_v know_v without_o a_o revelation_n and_o we_o can_v think_v that_o god_n will_v encourage_v any_o man_n by_o a_o extraordinary_a revelation_n to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o himself_o have_v express_o forbid_v and_o
