that_o if_o the_o bishop_n can_v prove_v what_o he_o assert_v viz._n that_o antichrist_n be_v never_o before_o this_o time_n discover_v and_o if_o he_o have_v the_o art_n to_o persuade_v man_n to_o

his_o birth_n at_o the_o least_o fifteen_o hundred_o year_n ago_o second_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o the_o assembly_n of_o presbyterian_o at_o westminster_n together_o with_o independent_n

i_o answer_v that_o what_o he_o say_v of_o these_o person_n be_v as_o true_a and_o no_o true_a than_o the_o next_o follow_v word_n that_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o abovenamed_a person_n viz._n that_o they_o unite_v and_o combine_a themselves_o together_o by_o a_o solemn_a league_n and_o covenant_n to_o slay_v the_o two_o witness_n and_o christ_n for_o i_o think_v that_o he_o will_v never_o be_v

that_o i_o do_v confess_v that_o many_o of_o the_o parliament_n and_o anabaptist_n and_o lay-preacher_n be_v both_o hypocritical_a and_o heretical_a and_o it_o be_v well_o know_v to_o most_o part_n
