be_v hitherto_o say_v may_v occasion_v any_o grief_n for_o the_o death_n of_o monsieur_n pascall_n to_o his_o friend_n who_o only_o know_v to_o what_o degree_n he_o understand_v prophecy_n how_o

a_o imperfect_a view_n of_o the_o volume_n he_o will_v have_v make_v it_o may_v be_v but_o very_a few_o will_v believe_v i_o but_o those_o who_o know_v it_o be_v bind_v to_o give_v this_o testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o to_o his_o memory_n i_o can_v therefore_o bold_o affirm_v that_o those_o who_o diligent_o hearken_v to_o he_o in_o the_o occasion_n above_o mention_v be_v as_o it_o be_v
