as_o we_o find_v they_o do_v cred._n it_o be_v no_o argument_n that_o the_o american_n be_v not_o derive_v from_o the_o european_n or_o other_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o world_n because_o their_o

all_o language_n beside_o the_o american_n once_o seem_v to_o be_v derive_v from_o some_o other_o and_o have_v a_o nigh_o resemblance_n to_o one_o another_o for_o as_o far_o as_o ever_o i_o be_v able_a to_o remark_n irish_a and_o welsh_a and_o several_a of_o the_o language_n of_o the_o east-indies_n be_v as_o different_a from_o the_o learned_a or_o the_o other_o european_a language_n as_o the_o american_n tongue_n be_v so_o that_o by_o this_o argument_n the_o britain_n and_o irish_a and_o most_o of_o the_o eastern_a nation_n must_v be_v aborigines_n too_o as_o well_o as_o the_o american_n and_o as_o for_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o american_n they_o be_v not_o so_o very_o different_a as_o you_o will_v pretend_v nay_o they_o retain_v in_o many_o thing_n such_o a_o uniformity_n of_o practice_n with_o we_o as_o afford_v a_o indubitable_a proof_n that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o original_a i_o will_v not_o instance_n in_o such_o action_n which_o be_v natural_a and_o common_a to_o all_o man_n such_o as_o be_v the_o result_n of_o humane_a passion_n or_o be_v so_o easy_a of_o invention_n as_o they_o can_v hardly_o be_v avoid_v as_o sing_v dance_a bow_v leap_v etc._n etc._n but_o in_o such_o action_n as_o be_v owe_v to_o some_o one_o lucky_a invention_n or_o transcribe_v from_o other_o by_o imitation_n which_o they_o can_v all_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v light_v upon_o themselves_o but_o must_v have_v they_o communicate_v to_o they_o by_o other_o it_o will_v be_v no_o argument_n to_o prove_v this_o original_a because_o i_o do_v see_v a_o american_n caper_v a_o odd_a kind_n of_o jig_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v see_v two_o american_n play_v a_o game_n at_o tennis_n or_o baggamon_n or_o write_v a_o italian_a hand_n i_o shall_v be_v confident_a they_o learn_v this_o from_o some_o european_a and_o many_o custom_n of_o this_o sort_n we_o find_v among_o they_o learn_v from_o other_o part_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v a_o unanswerable_a argument_n for_o their_o descent_n from_o they_o to_o begin_v first_o with_o some_o of_o their_o religious_a rite_n and_o particular_o sacrifice_n though_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o natural_a religion_n be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n yet_o what_o reason_n can_v be_v assign_v that_o the_o american_n who_o be_v by_o you_o suppose_v to_o have_v no_o communication_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v worship_v god_n with_o just_a such_o positive_a rite_n as_o the_o far_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n do_v there_o be_v several_a way_n of_o worship_v god_n which_o they_o may_v have_v

unaccountable_a but_o grant_v sacrifice_n as_o a_o easy_a deduction_n from_o natural_a reason_n as_o it_o be_v not_o and_o that_o all_o man_n must_v think_v it_o reasonable_a that_o their_o sin_n must_v be_v expiate_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o beast_n which_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o vicarious_a life_n take_v away_o in_o lieu_n of_o their_o own_o which_o be_v forfeit_v how_o come_v they_o to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o this_o adamical_a punishment_n and_o to_o know_v that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n this_o must_v be_v all_o ground_a upon_o scripture_n or_o ancient_a tradition_n which_o the_o heathen_n all_o over_o the_o world_n stick_v fast_o to_o though_o they_o can_v give_v no_o reason_n for_o it_o and_o which_o the_o american_n can_v never_o have_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o unless_o they_o have_v be_v derive_v from_o other_o nation_n and_o have_v have_v the_o same_o universal_a original_a but_o though_o this_o vicarious_a punishment_n of_o beast_n shall_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v natural_a how_o shall_v they_o come_v to_o perform_v it_o just_o the_o same_o way_n as_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o world_n do_v which_o they_o have_v no_o converse_n with_o one_o will_v have_v think_v that_o in_o this_o case_n strangle_v or_o jugulation_n shall_v be_v the_o most_o natural_a and_o proper_a way_n of_o dispatch_v the_o vicarious_a victim_n and_o appease_v the_o deity_n and_o the_o sacrifice_n shall_v terminate_v here_o but_o what_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o they_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v burn_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o
