moreover_o the_o way_n of_o popery_n be_v against_o christianity_n and_o shake_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o it_o and_o tempt_v the_o world_n to_o infidelity_n by_o build_v their_o faith_n upon_o a_o uncertain_a ground_n yea_o on_o a_o ground_n that_o be_v certain_o false_a for_o according_a to_o the_o papist_n we_o can_v know_v the_o christian_a doctrine_n to_o be_v true_a nor_o scripture_n
