of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n but_o those_o that_o worship_v the_o beast_n be_v not_o write_v in_o the_o lamb_n book_n of_o life_n that_o be_v in_o the_o text_n here_o be_v two_o proposition_n very_o evident_a all_o that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o lamb_n book_n of_o life_n do_v not_o worship_v the_o beast_n but_o those_o that_o worship_v the_o beast_n be_v not_o write_v in_o the_o lamb_n baok_v of_o life_n then_o the_o conclusion_n be_v they_o shall_v be_v cost_v into_o the_o lake_n that_o burn_v with_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n that_o if_o it_o appear_v that_o this_o beast_n be_v the_o

beyond_o a_o reprobate_n i_o dare_v not_o say_v but_o some_o that_o be_v ignorant_a who_o devotion_n have_v carry_v to_o that_o religion_n it_o be_v possible_a some_o of_o they_o when_o they_o come_v

believe_v in_o their_o own_o merit_n for_o their_o justification_n i_o do_v pronounce_v to_o you_o that_o a_o papist_n live_v and_o die_v a_o papist_n can_v go_v beyond_o a_o reprobate_n i_o mean_v such_o a_o one_o be_v not_o write_v in_o the_o lamb_n book_n of_o life_n and_o they_o that_o be_v not_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o lake_n that_o burn_v with_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n that_o be_v the_o

in_o the_o lamb_n book_n of_o life_n god_n lose_v none_o of_o his_o sheep_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a they_o be_v bloody_a butcher_n of_o many_o christian_n not_o choose_v yet_o devout_a christian_n many_o a_o one_o under_o pang_n of_o conscience_n with_o sense_n of_o many_o sinful_a passion_n and_o lust_n be_v not_o able_a to_o get_v out_o but_o by_o a_o priest_n absolution_n and_o if_o they_o
