Which some say is purity often (tant nothin to

Wat give amt nothin TO nobody bu sextant

Some has bad breths, mono mint 9 swete,
Some is fevery, some is scrofflous, some has bad
teeth,
And some haint none, and some amt over clean;
And every on EN- breethes in & out and out &
Say 6otimes mint, or million and half

Now how long will a church full of are lastat
that rate,

Why then they must brethe it all over agfn,
And then agin, and so on, till each has took it
Atleast 10 times, and let it up again, and watts
The same individual don't have the privelidge
of brethen his own are, and no ones else;
Each one mus take whatever comes to him.

Or water is to fish, or pcndlums to clox-
Or roots 4 airbs unto an injun Doctor,
Or little pills unto an omepath,
Or boys to,gurls. Are is for us to brethe,
Wat signifies who prceches ifi can't brethe?

Ded for want of broth? why sextant, wen we

It's onlyGcoz we cant brethe no more-thats all.
And now, o sextant, let me beg ofyou
Q let little are into our church.
(Pewer are is ccrtin proper for the pews)
And do it weak days and Sundays tow
1t aint much trouble-only make hole
And-the are wiltcome in Of itself;
Ut luvs to cum in where it can git Warmly
And o how it would ronse the people up
And sperrit up the preacher, and stop garps,
And yawns and flights as efFectooal
AS wind ON the dry Boans the profit tells Of
