the_o wilderness_n and_o tempt_v he_o there_o and_o hence_o will_v seek_v to_o get_v into_o church_n to_o pollute_v they_o and_o if_o he_o can_v pollute_v the_o church_n by_o unclean_a ordinance_n he_o will_v then_o seek_v to_o defile_v it_o by_o unclean_a person_n mat._n 13._o 25._o the_o tare_n be_v in_o judea_n like_o the_o wheat_n yet_o indeed_o annoy_v the_o wheat_n and_o how_o come_v

if_o there_o be_v a_o devil_n in_o the_o church_n he_o will_v sow_v his_o ta●es_n obj._n but_o we_o see_v he_o not_o ans._n no_o it_o be_v therefore_o say_v he_o go_v away_o his_o care_n be_v over_o

conquer_v they_o by_o power_n they_o seek_v to_o do_v it_o by_o craft_n hence_o they_o seek_v to_o lay_v their_o leaven_n and_o make_v their_o party_n within_o from_o who_o they_o may_v have_v intelligence_n and_o hence_o they_o shall_v do_v well_o enough_o with_o they_o so_o satan_n seek_v the_o ruin_n of_o the_o church_n seek_v to_o make_v his_o party_n within_o the_o church_n for_o one_o of_o these_o three_o end_n chief_o 1._o either_o that_o he_o may_v divide_v the_o church_n that_o when_o any_o error_n shall_v be_v hatch_v he_o may_v have_v his_o party_n to_o maintain_v it_o and_o his_o faction_n to_o plead_v for_o it_o or_o 2._o that_o he_o may_v corrupt_v it_o if_o he_o can_v divide_v it_o that_o the_o tare_n may_v suck_v out_o the_o heart_n and_o life_n and_o power_n of_o

not_o profane_a prick_a persecutor_n but_o seem_a friend_n to_o the_o church_n that_o suck_v out_o the_o heart_n and_o life_n of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o jeroboam_n greatness_n but_o the_o old_a

the_o whole_a lump_n and_o so_o provoke_v wrath_n against_o they_o all_o 3._o if_o he_o can_v do_v either_o yet_o that_o he_o may_v blur_v and_o stain_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o
