to_o teach_v christian_a ruler_n in_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n to_o lay_v their_o head_n and_o heart_n together_o how_o they_o may_v destroy_v antichrist_n it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v lament_v that_o christian_n can_v no_o better_o agree_v together_o against_o antichrist_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o get_v a_o council_n against_o christ_n than_o against_o antichrist_n second_o note_v where_o

the_o truth_n christ_n have_v no_o enemy_n more_o malicious_a than_o the_o priest_n and_o scribe_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a to_o rest_v upon_o man_n in_o the_o business_n of_o
