what_o a_o happy_a agreement_n there_o be_v among_o christian_n when_o the_o church_n be_v enlarge_v so_o far_o as_o to_o take_v in_o the_o whole_a gentile_a world_n it_o will_v convince_v every_o

familiar_o with_o they_o much_o less_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o gentile_n shall_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o very_a same_o happiness_n with_o themselves_o but_o they_o will_v have_v confine_v the_o blessing_n of_o the_o messiah_n to_o their_o own_o nation_n or_o to_o their_o rite_n of_o religion_n the_o apostle_n themselves_o be_v possess_v with_o this_o opinion_n at_o the_o

themselves_o and_o yet_o contribute_v to_o the_o more_o press_a necessity_n of_o their_o unknown_a brethren_n unto_o who_o they_o not_o only_o make_v a_o free-willing_a offer_n of_o their_o own_o

to_o which_o they_o come_v who_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o stranger_n but_o as_o friend_n who_o they_o treat_v with_o all_o imaginable_a kindness_n this_o no_o doubt_n be_v one_o of_o the_o
