doctrine_n of_o the_o quaker_n do_v render_v they_o very_o dishonourable_a and_o dangerous_a to_o christian_a religion_n if_o the_o deist_n in_o france_n shall_v once_o get_v the_o quaker_n knack_n of_o equivocate_a and_o meaning_n by_o jesus_n christ_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o he_o nothing_o but_o god_n then_o what_o havoc_n may_v they_o make_v of_o christian_a religion_n i_o will_v not_o

and_o a_o quaker_n now_o as_o i_o have_v show_v that_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o be_v of_o jesus_n the_o mediator_n and_o consequent_o none_o of_o those_o article_n of_o christian_a faith_n
