all_o these_o thing_n pass_v i_o dare_v appeal_n to_o any_o impartial_a reader_n that_o neither_o eusebius_n nor_o socrates_n nor_o thuanus_n nor_o chammier_n nor_o any_o other_o hystorian_n

and_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o although_o these_o persecution_n be_v exceed_o great_a yet_o our_o sin_n and_o transgression_n be_v far_o great_a and_o god_n in_o all_o this_o be_v most_o just_a
