of_o the_o people_n a_o esteem_n and_o love_n of_o religion_n as_o the_o direct_v way_n to_o their_o happiness_n that_o natural_o every_o man_n have_v a_o sense_n of_o a_o deity_n be_v beyond_o

the_o main_a design_n of_o rational_a man_n now_o to_o compass_v this_o end_n certain_o religion_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n must_v be_v the_o way_n and_o what_o be_v religion_n it_o be_v a_o respectful_a observance_n of_o that_o majesty_n which_o be_v to_o be_v reverent_o adore_v a_o due_a respect_n of_o the_o rational_a creature_n to_o the_o supreme_a be_v this_o respect_n consist_v in_o
