Known therefore it should seem it is already
by myself: for one example; by our Author, for
another: by the man that sweeps our Chimney's
for a third. [To begin with myself about whom
I can be the surest, I protest upon the word of an hon-
-est
man, I can not find by any of the accounts I have the description given it
made written, that there is any such thing at all.
If he knows what it consists of, I amongst many
others would have been infinitely obliged to him
to have told us. This he has not done: probably
for the reasons just mentioned; as not
thinking it worth his while. we are every man is to conform to is nogus vogus nolens volens: & so it was not worth while to tell us what it is.
[A sample of it, however, He has given us. This
sample consists of three principles: and they are these.
1st "We should live honestly," 2ndly "we should hurt
nobody;" Thirdly, "we should render to every one his
due."
A pretty large sample too it should seem

Not only of it indeed, but of every thing that is known
