indeed_o what_o else_o the_o church_n teach_v and_o to_o make_v it_o yet_o more_o evident_a if_o more_o can_v be_v that_o the_o very_a design_n of_o these_o silent_a meeting_n be_v to_o bring_v we_o off_o and_o wean_v we_o from_o the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o thereby_o to_o mould_v we_o and_o square_v we_o as_o fit_a

to_o all_o institute_v religion_n for_o as_o university_n and_o other_o school_n of_o learning_n as_o well_o among_o the_o jew_n as_o christian_n have_v a_o tendency_n to_o prepare_v man_n and_o
