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

day_n will_v be_v too_o little_a if_o the_o lord_n please_v to_o call_v they_o on_o to_o church-fellowship_n to_o examine_v they_o in_o point_n of_o knowledge_n and_o hear_v their_o confession_n and_o
