not_o true_a by_o your_o own_o confession_n therefore_o your_o consequent_a be_v not_o good_a that_o see_v you_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n your_o worship_n must_v needs_o be_v true_a if_o the_o mean_n whereby_o you_o worship_v be_v a_o false_a mean_n devise_v by_o the_o wit_n of_o a_o man_n &_o not_o teach_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n i_o say_v your_o worship_n be_v false_a &_o so_o that_o

your_o word_n be_v not_o the_o true_a word_n your_o sacrament_n the_o sign_n of_o your_o false_a faith_n &_o communion_n be_v not_o true_a your_o prayer_n be_v not_o true_a &_o whereas_o you_o plead_v

which_o be_v no_o worshis_n &_o worship_n together_o either_o they_o be_v worship_n or_o else_o let_v they_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o your_o worship_n &_o further_o whereas_o you_o allege_v that_o though_o some_o part_n of_o your_o worship_n he_o false_a yet_o all_o shall_v not_o be_v false_a i_o grant_v it_o if_o your_o church_n be_v true_a &_o your_o ministry_n true_a but_o see_v your_o

how_o can_v we_o who_o be_v the_o church_n and_o body_n of_o christ_n have_v any_o spiritual_a communion_n with_o you_o who_o be_v the_o minister_n and_o subject_n of_o antichrist_n 2._o corinth_n 6_o
