neither_o affirm_v nor_o deny_v it_o because_o all_o moderate_a papist_n that_o treat_v of_o the_o pope_n power_n as_o namely_o doctor_n barkley_n and_o the_o more_o mild_a babylonian_n in_o england_n

church_n of_o rome_n as_o it_o stand_v at_o this_o day_n offend_v rather_o in_o addition_n unto_o god_n truth_n in_o regard_n whereof_o they_o foolish_o call_v we_o a_o negative_a religion_n which_o do_v true_o deny_v and_o just_o impugn_v their_o addition_n then_o in_o subtraction_n from_o the_o same_o though_o they_o err_v also_o in_o this_o kind_n take_v lawful_a authority_n from_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n take_v half_o the_o communion_n from_o the_o laity_n take_v away_o the_o word_n of_o god_n from_o the_o people_n by_o conceal_v it_o in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o in_o other_o thing_n against_o which_o therefore_o our_o doctrine_n be_v affirmative_a in_o opposition_n of_o their_o error_n i_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v hold_v and_o teach_v the_o fundamental_a point_n of_o christian_a religion_n positive_o in_o the_o article_n of_o the_o
agreeable_o here_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o a_o learned_a jesuite_n due_o expend_v the_o concurrency_n of_o these_o proper_a and_o individual_a mark_n do_v ingenuous_o

and_o coherence_n of_o this_o scripture_n by_o two_o perspicuous_a demonstration_n out_o of_o the_o same_o first_o because_o this_o babylon_n be_v here_o so_o call_v by_o title_n and_o she_o be_v so_o
