obstruct_v that_o good_a establishment_n proceed_v without_o doubt_n from_o hence_o that_o man_n must_v dwell_v in_o a_o country_n that_o be_v no_o better_a than_o savage_a where_o the_o air_n and_o

for_o the_o keep_n up_o of_o religion_n on_o all_o the_o coast_n of_o africa_n it_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n not_o unlike_a unto_o this_o that_o christianity_n establish_v itself_o among_o the_o
