bill_n which_o it_o be_v scarce_o possible_a for_o any_o man_n that_o will_v be_v account_v a_o christian_a to_o offer_v the_o least_o reason_n against_o but_o the_o common_a degeneracy_n in_o this_o

to_o lay_v before_o the_o member_n of_o both_o house_n such_o consideration_n as_o with_o submission_n i_o conceive_v will_v incline_v they_o to_o believe_v it_o not_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a

those_o who_o will_v own_o this_o to_o be_v a_o revelation_n from_o god_n must_v think_v they_o to_o be_v of_o the_o most_o criminal_a nature_n and_o such_o as_o will_v subject_v those_o who_o live_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o such_o sin_n to_o eternal_a damnation_n from_o which_o nothing_o can_v save_v they_o but_o repentance_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n i_o will_v select_v but_o one_o or_o two_o of_o those_o text_n out_o of_o the_o many_o that_o may_v be_v produce_v to_o this_o purpose_n the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o heb._n 13.4_o that_o whoremonger_n and_o adulterer_n god_n will_v

shall_v come_v to_o keep_v they_o company_n how_o much_o more_o strict_o than_o will_v it_o be_v require_v by_o the_o author_n of_o our_o salvation_n who_o have_v design_v we_o for_o the_o bless_a
