sir_n by_o this_o ensue_a discourse_n you_o will_v see_v my_o judgement_n it_o be_v true_a i_o do_v it_o currente_a calamo_fw-la in_o more_o haste_n than_o the_o gravity_n of_o your_o question_n merit_v but_o that_o be_v to_o the_o manner_n i_o be_o very_o positive_a even_o in_o my_o most_o examinate_a reflection_n as_o to_o the_o matter_n to_o assert_v liberty_n of_o religion_n to_o all_o

whence_o upon_o your_o command_n i_o take_v pen_n and_o put_v to_o paper_n dip_v in_o ink_n without_o the_o too_o too_o ordinary_a contemperature_n of_o gall_n as_o the_o subject_n require_v

so_o prevent_v all_o foreign_a tincture_n that_o i_o be_o not_o capable_a of_o any_o further_a affection_n than_o what_o the_o purity_n of_o christian_a religion_n avow_v and_o oblige_v and_o

exclude_v any_o by_o the_o principle_n of_o christianity_n and_o reason_n first_o i_o consider_v that_o religion_n be_v a_o habit_n or_o virtue_n which_o have_v god_n for_o its_o immediate_a object_n

many_o of_o our_o learned_a man_n it_o seem_v to_o follow_v that_o religion_n be_v not_o within_o the_o verge_n of_o humane_a cognizance_n since_o both_o party_n concern_v god_n be_v above_o all_o
