which_o move_v we_o to_o this_o agreement_n and_o resolution_n be_v these_o follow_v 1._o as_o it_o be_v undeniable_a that_o the_o everlasting_a perdition_n of_o multitude_n be_v cause_v by_o their_o

that_o kill_a ignorance_n and_o that_o much_o of_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o land_n be_v chargeable_a on_o the_o neglect_n of_o this_o necessary_a work_n 2._o the_o age_a among_o we_o be_v too_o

come_v public_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o congregation_n to_o be_v catechise_v but_o yet_o we_o be_v in_o hope_n that_o few_o of_o they_o will_v refuse_v to_o come_v to_o we_o in_o private_a and_o see_v we_o be_v thus_o necessitate_v to_o deal_v in_o private_a with_o one_o part_n of_o the_o family_n if_o it_o be_v their_o desire_n we_o shall_v take_v all_o together_o in_o the_o same_o way_n perhaps_o one_o will_v encourage_v another_o we_o observe_v also_o that_o the_o young_a when_o they_o be_v once_o marry_v will_v come_v no_o more_o to_o be_v catechize_v
