not_o be_v use_v to_o work_v and_o yet_o approve_v of_o it_o and_o now_o think_v it_o a_o equal_a duty_n bring_v up_o thy_o child_n to_o work_n and_o help_v to_o make_v up_o one_o of_o our_o parish_n consecrate_v thy_o child_n to_o god_n in_o it_o and_o when_o thou_o die_v leave_v what_o thou_o have_v to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o society_n where_o thou_o have_v choose_v to_o place_v thy_o child_n out_o of_o the_o danger_n and_o temptation_n of_o this_o world_n i_o mean_v if_o such_o a_o society_n be_v lawful_o establish_v for_o i_o speak_v only_o to_o show_v the_o possibility_n of_o the_o

thy_o estate_n for_o the_o use_n of_o our_o parish_n after_o thy_o decease_n there_o can_v be_v no_o difficulty_n in_o this_o and_o if_o thou_o and_o some_o other_o rich_a man_n will_v think_v fit_a

for_o will_v it_o do_v no_o good_a to_o a_o nation_n to_o have_v a_o company_n of_o young_a man_n virtuous_o bring_v up_o and_o some_o of_o they_o if_o superior_n please_v train_v from_o their_o

great_a number_n of_o sinner_n in_o the_o land_n who_o deserve_v severe_a judgement_n beside_o supreme_a governor_n may_v lay_v equal_a imposition_n upon_o our_o parish_n as_o upon_o other_o estate_n and_o suppose_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o use_n of_o money_n among_o they_o governor_n may_v receive_v the_o worth_n of_o the_o tax_n in_o kind_a in_o corn_n and_o cattle_n etc._n etc._n why_o then_o shall_v they_o be_v more_o a_o cumber_v to_o a_o nation_n than_o a_o company_n of_o gentleman_n who_o have_v vast_a estate_n and_o be_v always_o idle_a and_o often_o consume_v their_o good_n in_o
