10_o certain_o this_o be_v so_o evident_a in_o itself_o and_o so_o undeniable_o the_o importance_n of_o my_o word_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o need_n far_o to_o enlarge_v on_o it_o much_o less_o to_o examine_v the_o weight_n or_o meaning_n of_o his_o concession_n that_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o decency_n do_v imply_v such_o custom_n the_o omission_n of_o which_o necessary_o infer_v

which_o be_v so_o high_o decent_a as_o that_o the_o omission_n of_o they_o necessary_o infer_v indecency_n but_o what_o be_v they_o why_o such_o as_o the_o law_n of_o at_o least_o lapse_v nature_n

from_o some_o positive_a command_n though_o it_o be_v of_o god_n or_o custom_n or_o command_n of_o man_n to_o such_o thing_n who_o decency_n flow_v from_o any_o command_n either_o of_o god_n or_o

but_o only_o dependent_o on_o that_o law_n and_o conditional_o infer_v indecency_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o rule_n hold_v not_o in_o those_o thing_n who_o decency_n be_v introduce_v only_o by_o

decency_n imply_v natural_a decency_n or_o such_o custom_n which_o be_v natural_o decent_a and_o so_o the_o omission_n of_o they_o natural_o indecent_a and_o if_o the_o dr._n or_o his_o party_n do_v
