proposal_n for_o the_o encouragement_n and_o promote_a of_o religion_n and_o learning_n in_o the_o foreign_a plantation_n and_o to_o induce_v such_o of_o the_o clergy_n of_o this_o kingdom_n as_o be_v person_n of_o sobriety_n and_o ability_n to_o accept_v of_o a_o mission_n into_o those_o part_n whereas_o the_o propagation_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o the_o increase_n of_o divine_a

clergy_n of_o those_o part_n the_o exemplariness_n of_o their_o life_n and_o their_o industry_n in_o teach_v other_o whereas_o also_o the_o clergy_n that_o be_v already_o in_o the_o plantation_n as_o well_o as_o those_o who_o be_v to_o be_v send_v thither_o can_v human_o speak_v be_v so_o capable_a of_o inform_v themselves_o and_o of_o instruct_v other_o in_o the_o design_n of_o christianity_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o mean_v and_o importance_n of_o the_o article_n of_o our_o most_o holy_a faith_n and_o in_o the_o nature_n and_o extent_n of_o all_o

upon_o each_o and_o every_o of_o those_o point_n whereas_o also_o for_o the_o supply_n of_o that_o want_n man_n of_o part_n and_o addict_v to_o study_n will_v hardly_o be_v induce_v to_o leave_v the_o
