O

A. The number of souls in this kingdom being usually reckoned one

million and a half ...

O

B. [I]t is not improbable that some scrupulous people might be apt to

censure such a practice ſeating children], (although indeed very

unjustly) as a little bordering upon cruelty ...

C. Mothers ... sacrificing the poor innocent babes, I doubt, more to
