i.e._n first_o of_o all_o you_o must_v inquire_v into_o the_o exegetical_a exhortation_n that_o accompany_v it_o and_o second_o into_o the_o corinthian_n miscarriage_n which_o occasion_v this_o caution_n p._n the_o exegetical_a exhortation_n be_v first_o that_o you_o all_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n viz_o in_o the_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o christianity_n as_o he_o understand_v st._n

a_o table-gesture_n be_v a_o little_a thing_n and_o yet_o i_o suppose_v mr._n h._n believe_v that_o our_o saviour_n himself_o make_v it_o a_o duty_n to_o use_v it_o at_o the_o sacrament_n it_o will_v be_v pretty_a to_o see_v he_o demonstrate_v according_a to_o his_o own_o rule_n that_o it_o be_v moral_o impossible_a that_o we_o who_o now_o think_v otherwise_o shall_v ever_o be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n and_o consequent_o that_o our_o saviour_n can_v never_o make_v it_o our_o duty_n if_o the_o gentleman_n be_v better_o acquaint_v with_o ecclesiastical_a history_n he_o will_v find_v that_o
