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

of_o god_n that_o stir_v up_o any_o to_o make_v discovery_n thereof_o to_o those_o who_o life_n and_o safety_n be_v in_o hazard_n that_o they_o may_v the_o better_o secure_v themselves_o from_o 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

fright_v with_o the_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n which_o i_o be_o like_a to_o sustain_v from_o king_n and_o potent_a prince_n incense_v by_o this_o discovery_n for_o i_o ought_v to_o be_v more_o

enrage_v and_o full_a of_o indignation_n and_o if_o god_n so_o permit_v fall_v fierce_a upon_o i_o i_o be_o sensible_a i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v from_o god_n that_o i_o be_o hereunto_o
