know_v very_o well_o that_o the_o protestant_a cause_n be_v a_o good_a cause_n and_o that_o god_n will_v be_v assistant_n to_o they_o to_o defeat_v the_o assault_n which_o satan_n and_o antichrist_n

those_o enemy_n who_o thus_o assault_v they_o to_o the_o end_n therefore_o that_o all_o protestant_a prince_n and_o all_o professor_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n may_v have_v warning_n to_o avoid_v these_o conspiracy_n of_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n and_o all_o popish_a prince_n i_o will_v through_o the_o help_n of_o god_n clear_o and_o undaunted_o declare_v and_o make_v know_v the_o most_o wicked_a confederacy_n and_o devilish_a art_n and_o machination_n of_o the_o popish_a confederate_n against_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o what_o i_o shall_v relate_v be_v not_o slight_a and_o
