opportunity_n of_o contribute_v somewhat_o to_o the_o make_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o the_o sanctify_a of_o a_o soul_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o i_o doubt_v whether_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o village_n know_v how_o to_o baptize_v or_o remember_v the_o word_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v pronounce_v in_o the_o administration_n of_o that_o sacrament_n i_o entreat_v the_o prince_n to_o provide_v

where_o the_o air_n and_o provision_n be_v not_o natural_a to_o foreigner_n therefore_o in_o order_n to_o its_o firm_a establishment_n in_o those_o part_n it_o will_v be_v expedient_a for_o the_o european_n to_o have_v settle_v habitation_n or_o to_o build_v town_n there_o to_o instruct_v the_o negro_n in_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o send_v mission_n thither_o from_o time_n to_o time_n which_o may_v be_v do_v with_o great_a facility_n by_o reason_n that_o those_o people_n be_v extreme_o docil_n and_o very_o capable_a of_o imbibe_v good_a

it_o will_v also_o be_v requisite_a to_o establish_v a_o bishop_n in_o that_o town_n who_o shall_v take_v care_n to_o send_v priest_n into_o the_o several_a habitation_n of_o the_o negro_n throughout_o the_o country_n and_o to_o cause_n oratory_n to_o be_v build_v in_o the_o most_o

populous_a place_n thus_o the_o christian_a religion_n may_v be_v propagate_v in_o guinee_n and_o will_v be_v less_o liable_a to_o be_v extirpate_v by_o the_o war_n that_o the_o native_n make_v with_o
