of_o so_o dear_a a_o saviour_n and_o desire_v to_o perpetuate_v the_o story_n of_o so_o rare_a a_o love_n and_o make_v it_o know_v to_o all_o succeed_a generation_n by_o this_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o thing_n which_o make_v most_o man_n negligent_a of_o this_o duty_n be_v that_o which_o if_o they_o be_v understand_v believer_n shall_v make_v they_o most_o zealous_o affect_v it_o

and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n why_o the_o people_n know_v by_o the_o name_n of_o quaker_n have_v so_o little_a or_o rather_o no_o regard_n to_o it_o but_o if_o christian_a faith_n be_v
