general_a approbation_n according_o this_o year_n 54_o i_o move_v the_o elder_n that_o they_o will_v give_v i_o advice_n and_o assistance_n in_o this_o great_a business_n and_o that_o they_o will_v at_o a_o fit_a season_n examine_v the_o indian_n in_o point_n of_o their_o knowledge_n because_o we_o find_v by_o the_o former_a trial_n that_o a_o

the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o last_o judgement_n wherein_o they_o be_v through_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n in_o some_o measure_n instruct_v but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o do_v perceive_v that_o

christ_n in_o this_o second_o they_o have_v in_o some_o measure_n declare_v how_o far_o the_o lord_n have_v let_v in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o good_a knowledge_n of_o god_n into_o their_o soul_n and_o what_o taste_v they_o have_v of_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n and_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n now_o the_o question_n remain_v what_o shall_v we_o further_o do_v and_o when_o shall_v they_o enjoy_v the_o ordinance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o church-estate_n the_o work_n be_v very_o solemn_a and_o the_o question_n need_v a_o solemn_a answer_n it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n to_o betrust_v those_o with_o the_o holy_a privilege_n of_o god_n house_n upon_o which_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o much_o call_v who_o have_v so_o little_a knowledge_n and_o experience_n in_o

it_o be_v like_a to_o be_v a_o pattern_n and_o precedent_n of_o after_o proceed_n even_o unto_o follow_a generation_n hence_o it_o be_v very_o needful_a that_o this_o proceed_n of_o we_o at_o first_o

this_o summer_n it_o will_v be_v difficult_a to_o compass_v another_o for_o we_o have_v many_o other_o great_a occasion_n which_o may_v hinder_v the_o same_o and_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o
