nine-tenths + regard four fifths refuse to listen to such instruction regarding

the expence of such a different system of instruction on the same subject
such as in their eyes appears useful and conducive
to its professed purpose: of which nine tenths four four fifths
about in the eyes of about seven eights II the effect of consider such instruction if
listened to would be not merely simply pernicious, but instead
of fatuity conducive to infinite and eternal misery,
inasmuch that in their eyes whatever part of this money
