xxxiiii_o xxxv_o xxxvi_o xxxvii_o xxxviii_o thirty-nine_o xl._n i_o agree_v to_o the_o 34_o that_o every_o man_n have_v some_o sense_n of_o religion_n in_o he_o if_o you_o mean_v by_o it_o a_o

because_o the_o major_a part_n of_o mankind_n give_v up_o itself_o unto_o it_o and_o therefore_o you_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o make_v such_o a_o aphorism_n as_o your_o 40th_o wherein_o you_o say_v
