reflection_n upon_o the_o dead_a as_o well_o as_o upon_o the_o live_n but_o we_o must_v not_o wonder_v that_o a_o man_n who_o instead_o of_o a_o sermon_n for_o though_o he_o use_v some_o very_a few_o scripture-phrase_n yet_o one_o except_v do_v quote_v no_o one_o place_n out_o of_o it_o but_o that_o of_o his_o text_n make_v a_o declaration_n against_o indulgence_n and_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n

wonder_n if_o he_o do_v so_o see_v he_o make_v bold_a to_o say_v in_o some_o place_n those_o thing_n which_o may_v well_o be_v interpret_v not_o only_o as_o reflection_n but_o invective_n against_o the_o present_a government_n thus_o some_o who_o go_v up_o into_o the_o pulpit_n be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o paul_n 2.2_o 1_o cor._n 2.2_o to_o know_v and_o preach_v nothing_o save_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_a but_o do_v set_v up_o for_o statesman_n and_o teacher_n of_o human_a wisdom_n and_o upon_o occasion_n turn_v the_o preach_a of_o the_o gospel_n of_o peace_n into_o blow_v the_o

reconcile_a the_o spirit_n of_o man_n be_v to_o exasperate_v they_o it_o be_v to_o continue_v our_o division_n to_o propagate_v hatred_n and_o animosity_n to_o posterity_n these_o be_v the_o likely_a

of_o they_o take_v upon_o themselves_o to_o alter_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n it_o be_v more_o proper_a for_o they_o to_o betake_v themselves_o to_o their_o
