religion_n so_o worthy_a of_o god_n to_o reveal_v so_o proper_a for_o we_o to_o be_v teach_v in_o as_o that_o system_v of_o true_a piety_n and_o unaffected_a morality_n that_o he_o have_v bring_v to_o

when_o our_o saviour_n appear_v it_o be_v then_o high_a time_n to_o recover_v the_o world_n from_o their_o beggarly_a element_n and_o to_o give_v we_o the_o true_a notion_n of_o almighty_a god_n the_o
