appear_v that_o there_o be_v at_o present_a want_v no_o less_o than_o forty_o protestant_a missionary_n to_o be_v send_v into_o all_o these_o colony_n and_o the_o necessity_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v both_o so_o many_o and_o those_o singular_o well_o qualify_v for_o the_o purpose_n i_o be_o next_o to_o show_v you_o and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v at_o least_o that_o number_v send_v into_o each_o of_o these_o colony_n as_o i_o have_v now_o mention_v appear_v from_o hence_o that_o even_o then_o their_o business_n will_v he_o extreme_o wide_a but_o chief_o for_o this_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v so_o great_a a_o inclination_n to_o embrace_v christianity_n among_o many_o quaker_n all_o over_o those_o part_n where_o mr._n keith_n have_v be_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o fatal_a neglect_n if_o our_o church_n shall_v not_o close_v with_o that_o providence_n which_o offer_v so_o many_o proselyte_n into_o her_o bosom_n and_o the_o plantation_n grow_v now_o into_o populous_a and_o powerful_a province_n with_o all_o submission_n in_o my_o opinion_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v so_o neglect_v as_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v indifferent_a to_o we_o whether_o they_o be_v make_v christian_n or_o abandon_v to_o infidelity_n nor_o be_v the_o necessity_n less_o that_o these_o missionary_n shall_v be_v singular_o well_o qualify_v than_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v at_o all_o send_v and_o indeed_o in_o order_n to_o make_v the_o better_a choice_n agreeable_a to_o what_o i_o have_v observe_v of_o the_o state_n the_o temper_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o country_n and_o people_n be_v one_o great_a reason_n that_o have_v persuade_v i_o so_o soon_o back_o and_o the_o person_n which_o alone_o can_v do_v good_a there_o as_o i_o conceive_v must_v in_o the_o first_o place_n be_v of_o such_o nice_a moral_n as_o to_o abstain_v from_o all_o appearance_n of_o evil_a there_o be_v not_o such_o a_o calumniate_a people_n in_o the_o world_n as_o the_o quaker_n be_v every_o where_o find_v to_o be_v and_o it_o be_v the_o worst_a fault_n of_o the_o plantation_n that_o they_o give_v their_o tongue_n too_o much_o liberty_n that_o way_n especial_o if_o they_o can_v find_v the_o least_o flaw_n second_o they_o must_v be_v man_n of_o good_a prudence_n and_o a_o exact_a conduct_n or_o otherwise_o they_o will_v unavoidable_o fall_v into_o contempt_n with_o a_o people_n so_o well_o verse_v in_o business_n as_o every_o the_o mean_a planter_n seem_v to_o be_v three_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v well_o experience_v in_o the_o pastoral_n care_n have_v a_o great_a variety_n both_o of_o sect_n and_o humour_n to_o deal_v with_o in_o those_o part_n than_o be_v at_o home_n and_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v well_o if_o we_o can_v be_v provide_v with_o such_o as_o have_v be_v curate_n here_o for_o some_o time_n four_o more_o especial_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v of_o a_o true_a missionary_n spirit_n have_v a_o ardent_a zeal_n for_o god_n glory_n and_o the_o

very_o young_a upon_o which_o account_n they_o will_v be_v more_o liable_a to_o be_v despise_v and_o last_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v good_a substantial_a well-studied_n divine_v very_o ready_a in_o

will_v be_v therefore_o absolute_o requisite_a to_o provide_v each_o of_o they_o with_o a_o library_n of_o necessary_a book_n to_o be_v fix_v in_o those_o place_n to_o which_o they_o shall_v be_v

want_v of_o those_o part_n that_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o have_v no_o hand_n in_o send_v or_o take_v over_o any_o one_o the_o best_a missionary_n who_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o provide_v well_o but_o the_o great_a quaere_fw-la be_v how_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o procure_v so_o great_a a_o number_n of_o such_o able_a missionary_n how_o to_o maintain_v they_o and_o how_o to_o furnish_v they_o out_o with_o such_o library_n in_o order_n to_o all_o which_o i_o crave_v leave_n to_o offer_v these_o follow_a consideration_n first_o that_o the_o colony_n now_o name_v consist_v chief_o of_o quaker_n or_o such_o as_o for_o want_v of_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v among_o they_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n of_o no_o religion_n they_o be_v in_o that_o respect_n to_o be_v consider_v as_o almost_o so_o many_o heathen_a nation_n and_o it_o will_v seem_v unreasonable_a to_o expect_v that_o a_o people_n before_o they_o be_v convert_v and_o make_v to_o understand_v the_o goodness_n and_o advantage_n of_o true_a religion_n shall_v be_v induce_v to_o maintain_v its_o ministry_n and_o especial_o in_o this_o case_n of_o the_o quaker_n the_o person_n chief_o to_o be_v proselyte_v who_o above_o all_o other_o rite_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n have_v be_v deep_o prejudice_v against_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o clergy_n second_o that_o if_o the_o missionary_n which_o shall_v be_v send_v into_o each_o of_o those_o colony_n shall_v be_v well_o choose_v and_o due_o qualify_v i_o be_o persuade_v they_o will_v find_v the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o prosper_v so_o well_o in_o their_o hand_n that_o in_o three_o year_n time_n the_o people_n will_v out_o of_o pure_a devotion_n subscribe_v or_o settle_v a_o plentiful_a maintenance_n both_o for_o they_o and_o their_o successor_n to_o support_v i_o in_o which_o conjecture_n we_o have_v two_o very_a eminent_a and_o late_a instance_n the_o one_o in_o pensylvania_n the_o other_o in_o carolina_n in_o the_o former_a of_o which_o mr._n clayton_n who_o at_o his_o first_o go_v over_o three_o year_n ago_o and_o whilst_o his_o congregation_n be_v not_o above_o sixty_o person_n have_v scarce_o 50_o l._n per_fw-la

of_o the_o minister_n of_o philadelphia_n to_o 150_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o in_o carolina_n mr._n martial_n through_o his_o excellent_a preach_v and_o singular_a conduct_n so_o gain_v upon_o the_o people_n that_o from_o a_o poor_a subscription-maintenance_n at_o first_o they_o settle_v upon_o he_o and_o his_o successor_n within_o two_o year_n after_o his_o be_v among_o they_o what_o amount_v to_o 200_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o at_o his_o death_n the_o general_n assembly_n of_o that_o province_n be_v so_o kind_a to_o his_o widow_n as_o to_o present_v she_o with_o 200_o l._n upon_o she_o return_v home_o three_o i_o conceive_v therefore_o that_o in_o the_o interim_n and_o during_o the_o first_o three_o year_n it_o will_v be_v absolute_o necessary_a that_o these_o missionary_n shall_v be_v subsist_v from_o hence_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v my_o utmost_a care_n in_o that_o time_n to_o have_v they_o so_o provide_v of_o glebe_n and_o the_o same_o so_o stock_v as_o that_o they_o may_v thenceforward_o live_v comfortable_o upon_o the_o emolument_n of_o their_o own_o place_n four_o the_o method_n by_o which_o i_o will_v humble_o propose_v to_o have_v these_o

mission_n and_o then_o 2._o as_o to_o his_o support_n that_o his_o lordship_n have_v countenance_v the_o follow_a proposal_n in_o such_o measure_n as_o consider_v the_o many_o other_o like_o call_n upon_o those_o in_o his_o station_n more_o than_o upon_o any_o other_o his_o lordship_n shall_v think_v fit_a he_o be_v please_v to_o recommend_v it_o to_o the_o dignifyed_a and_o other_o the_o most_o
