in_o he_o and_o one_o lord_n jesus_n by_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n and_o we_o by_o he_o from_o hence_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o true_a notion_n of_o this_o according_a to_o st._n paul_n be_v that_o as_o the_o heathen_a nation_n believe_v some_o supreme_a deity_n and_o other_o depute_a or_o low_a deity_n that_o watch_v over_o particular_a nation_n so_o we_o christian_n do_v own_o one_o only_o eternal_a god_n the_o creator_n and_o conserver_n of_o all_o and_o one_o lord_n to_o who_o he_o have_v give_v the_o government_n of_o all_o thing_n so_o that_o this_o as_o it_o favour_v the_o notion_n
