the_o permanent_a substance_n of_o our_o soul_n on_o which_o all_o the_o general_a precept_n of_o morality_n be_v engrave_v as_o innate_a notion_n of_o our_o duty_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v

this_o consideration_n that_o idolatry_n be_v very_o rare_a among_o the_o nation_n especial_o the_o roman_n if_o this_o mode_n of_o idolatry_n be_v not_o true_o idolatry_n and_o scarce_o any_o thing_n
