to_o deny_v the_o existenee_n of_o a_o deity_n as_o to_o suppose_v he_o void_a of_o excellency_n and_o perfection_n to_o imagine_v he_o to_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o honour_n

those_o who_o officiate_n in_o private_a house_n lie_v under_o particular_a disadvantage_n here_o the_o master_n of_o the_o family_n usual_o expect_v a_o extraordinary_a observance_n from_o the_o priest_n and_o return_v he_o less_o notice_n in_o exchange_n than_o to_o other_o of_o the_o same_o order_n and_o condition_n now_o one_o will_v think_v in_o point_n of_o reason_n that_o a_o ecclesiastical_a as_o well_o as_o a_o civil_a or_o military_a officer_n shall_v be_v more_o consider_v within_o the_o limit_n and_o extent_n of_o his_o employ_v than_o elsewhere_o both_o upon_o the_o
