suppose_a opinion_n and_o judgement_n of_o such_o person_n without_o any_o evident_a and_o express_a ground_n or_o reason_n for_o it_o 2._o that_o the_o opinion_n or_o judgement_n of_o great_a statesman_n or_o scholar_n mere_o as_o such_o be_v of_o no_o great_a authority_n in_o this_o particular_a than_o the_o judgement_n or_o opinion_n of_o other_o man_n for_o such_o man_n may_v in_o

judgement_n in_o this_o case_n there_o be_v very_o rare_o find_v any_o man_n that_o be_v well_o skill_v in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o learning_n or_o of_o some_o one_o profession_n as_o for_o example_n of_o the_o law_n some_o be_v good_a conveyancer_n who_o be_v very_o unskilful_a in_o bar-practice_n many_o good_a chancery-man_n who_o be_v no_o great_a common_a lawyer_n etc._n etc._n so_o in_o divinity_n some_o be_v well_o skill_v in_o textual_a some_o in_o polemical_a or_o scholastical_a some_o in_o casuistical_a divinity_n and_o yet_o but_o mean_o skill_v in_o the_o other_o part_n of_o it_o and_o this_o part_n which_o consider_v the_o evidence_n of_o religion_n be_v but_o rare_o study_v by_o any_o but_o such_o as_o have_v to_o do_v with_o infidel_n each_o man_n ordinary_o apply_v
