all_o profess_v christianity_n and_o that_o be_v pious_a may_v see_v the_o reason_n that_o i_o have_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o write_v to_o t._n c._n and_o such_o unsound_a doctrine_n

that_o pious_a man_n will_v not_o only_o justify_v i_o in_o this_o my_o publication_n wherein_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v in_o so_o great_a danger_n to_o be_v undermine_v and_o fourthly_a that_o it_o may_v be_v see_v that_o these_o quaker_n and_o george_n whitehead_n and_o william_n penn_n agree_v in_o gross_a error_n and_o only_o differ_v chief_o about_o the_o
