for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n which_o other_o can_v there_o be_v 3._o thing_n in_o the_o general_a that_o i_o desire_v to_o commend_v unto_o you_o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o

if_o this_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o christian_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n then_o how_o be_v they_o very_a antipode_n unto_o christian_n in_o a_o direct_a opposition_n unto_o they_o that_o be_v not_o for_o jerusalem_n but_o for_o babel_n 1._o if_o there_o be_v any_o jesuitical_a spirit_n that_o will_v build_v rome_n with_o the_o revenge_n of_o the_o ruin_n of_o

nothing_o can_v make_v the_o balance_n even_o and_o cast_v the_o scale_n to_o the_o church_n but_o prayer_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o because_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v asleep_a in_o all_o their_o
