           :
           If
           he
           did
           not
           ,
           he
           thought
           assuredly
           he
           had
           much
           reason
           to
           
             despise
          
           them

           with
           whom
           he

           The
           
             Summe
          
           of

           me
           affirmed

             one
             place
             giving
             Testimony
             clearly
             to
             the
             Deity
             of

           To
           this
           assertion
           I
           added
           both

             limitation
          
           that
           I
           could
           not
           
             perceive
          
           he
           had
           spoken
           of
           
             himselfe

           he
           did
           so
           ,
           I
           granted
