not_o be_v use_v to_o work_v and_o yet_o approve_v of_o it_o and_o now_o think_v it_o a_o equal_a duty_n bring_v up_o thy_o child_n to_o work_n and_o help_v to_o make_v up_o one_o of_o our_o parish_n consecrate_v thy_o child_n to_o god_n in_o it_o and_o when_o thou_o die_v leave_v what_o thou_o have_v to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o society_n where_o thou_o have_v choose_v to_o place_v thy_o child_n out_o of_o the_o danger_n and_o temptation_n of_o this_o world_n i_o mean_v if_o such_o a_o society_n be_v lawful_o establish_v for_o i_o speak_v only_o to_o show_v the_o possibility_n of_o the_o

thy_o estate_n for_o the_o use_n of_o our_o parish_n after_o thy_o decease_n there_o can_v be_v no_o difficulty_n in_o this_o and_o if_o thou_o and_o some_o other_o rich_a man_n will_v think_v fit_a to_o do_v so_o why_o can_v we_o not_o in_o time_n have_v as_o great_a a_o number_n of_o such_o true_o religious_a house_n of_o laborious_a and_o good_a christian_n as_o some_o nation_n have_v of_o

for_o will_v it_o do_v no_o good_a to_o a_o nation_n to_o have_v a_o company_n of_o young_a man_n virtuous_o bring_v up_o and_o some_o of_o they_o if_o superior_n please_v train_v from_o their_o

holy_a life_n and_o by_o their_o piety_n and_o exemplary_a virtue_n will_v draw_v a_o blessing_n upon_o the_o nation_n and_o obtain_v of_o god_n to_o continue_v his_o forbearance_n towards_o the_o great_a number_n of_o sinner_n in_o the_o land_n who_o deserve_v severe_a judgement_n beside_o supreme_a governor_n may_v lay_v equal_a imposition_n upon_o our_o parish_n as_o upon_o other_o estate_n and_o suppose_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o use_n of_o money_n among_o they_o governor_n may_v receive_v the_o worth_n of_o the_o tax_n in_o kind_a in_o corn_n and_o cattle_n etc._n etc._n why_o then_o shall_v they_o be_v more_o a_o cumber_v to_o a_o nation_n than_o a_o company_n of_o gentleman_n who_o have_v vast_a estate_n and_o be_v always_o idle_a and_o often_o consume_v their_o good_n in_o

why_o then_o shall_v there_o be_v such_o vast_a difference_n make_v betwixt_o they_o all_o those_o that_o be_v among_o we_o where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v be_v not_o they_o all_o capable_a of_o

in_o equality_n and_o in_o common_a if_o adam_n have_v not_o sin_v there_o will_v not_o have_v be_v such_o a_o vast_a difference_n make_v between_o man_n for_o it_o will_v have_v be_v alike_o lawful_a to_o all_o to_o satisfy_v themselves_o with_o the_o goodthing_n in_o eden●●_n but_o when_o man_n be_v corrupt_a and_o become_v wicked_a it_o be_v think_v fit_a that_o that_o shall_v happen_v to_o he_o
