A30298	An essay to revive the necessity of the ancient charity and piety wherein God's right in our estates and our obligations to maintain his service, religion, and charity is demonstrated and defended against the pretences of covetousness and appropriation : in two discourses written to a person of honour and vertue / by George Burghope.

prove_v from_o the_o obligation_n we_o have_v to_o truth_n gratitude_n and_o indemnity_n it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a that_o every_o man_n shall_v worship_v his_o maker_n with_o the_o inward_a
