in_o contempt_n of_o the_o public_a opinion_n of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n yet_o i_o must_v declare_v that_o i_o observe_v probity_n good_a manner_n and_o religion_n more_o

be_v more_o earnest_a in_o recommend_v practical_a piety_n than_o we_o notwithstanding_o the_o youth_n of_o those_o who_o general_o fill_v '_o they_o our_o master_n entertain_v we_o of_o late_a with_o such_o argument_n and_o concession_n about_o christianity_n that_o infidel_n seem_v rather_o encourage_v than_o convince_v by_o his_o reason_n one_o while_o he_o confess_v the_o soul_n of_o brute_n

with_o a_o resolute_a reservedness_n as_o little_o appear_v as_o be_v possible_a these_o i_o say_v have_v give_v such_o subject_n of_o discourse_n to_o the_o youth_n of_o this_o place_n that_o it_o

of_o his_o present_a majesty_n it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o imagine_v from_o whence_o he_o can_v have_v receive_v this_o notion_n unless_o it_o be_v from_o bp._n cartwright_n book_n who_o for_o his_o

prevarication_n to_o print_v part_n of_o a_o clause_n and_o omit_v the_o most_o material_a word_n in_o it_o which_o be_v place_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o paragraph_n and_o can_v not_o well_o be_v

to_o as_o you_o shall_v see_v present_o which_o be_v the_o more_o remarkable_a because_o he_o have_v print_v the_o word_n of_o the_o act_n in_o a_o different_a character_n which_o among_o ingenuous_a
