A62900	The principles of the Papists by which their leaders put them upon bloody and treacherous practices, plainly demonstrated by the Scriptures to be most erroneous and wicked. And a few better principles briefly laid down, for them (or others) to meditate on, tending to a peaceable life among men, &c. And also a few quæries left them last of all, to satisfie their consciences in. Partly for the sakes of those among them whose consciences have some tenderness in them, and are not quite feared: partly also for those who through ignorance are too much inclining to them. Also there may be some service of these things to others. By a lover of truth, mercifulness, plain-heartedness, humility and fidelity, W. T.

she_o have_v reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o they_o have_v commit_v fornication_n with_o she_o but_o god_n will_v put_v it_o into_o their_o heart_n at_o last_o to_o hate_v the_o

seven-hilled_n city_n that_o the_o popish_a writer_n have_v confess_v it_o to_o be_v rome_n only_o they_o frame_v this_o evasion_n which_o stand_v need_n to_o be_v answer_v before_o i_o pass_v from_o

that_o be_v then_o persecute_v and_o under_o a_o great_a profession_n of_o christianity_n to_o have_v they_o represent_v to_o he_o to_o be_v drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o saint_n and_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n while_o they_o so_o high_o profess_v jesus_n here_o be_v ground_n indeed_o of_o astonishment_n to_o john_n but_o it_o be_v a_o weak_a and_o silly_a thing_n to_o turn_v this_o off_o from_o rome_n present_a to_o rome_n heathen_a under_o the_o persecute_v emperor_n as_o some_o of_o no_o small_a note_n do_v who_o at_o present_a i_o forbear_v to_o

of_o a_o thing_n take_v away_o the_o wonder_v at_o it_o especial_o with_o so_o great_a admiration_n but_o to_o see_v a_o new_a thing_n so_o strange_a a_o thing_n so_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o plain_a word_n to_o see_v christian_n drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o christian_n to_o see_v so_o high_a profess_v christian_n who_o will_v honour_v almost_o every_o thing_n that_o appertain_v to_o christ_n honour_v his_o mother_n honour_v his_o apostle_n honour_v his_o very_a sepulchre_n and_o the_o very_a cross_n upon_o which_o he_o be_v crucify_v yea_o the_o very_a

and_o magnify_v themselves_o as_o the_o only_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o count_v all_o other_o who_o join_v not_o with_o they_o in_o these_o thing_n to_o be_v heretic_n to_o have_v such_o a_o people_n represent_v as_o drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o christian_n drunken_a with_o the_o blood_n of_o saint_n and_o of_o the_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n a_o thing_n so_o contrary_a to_o what_o they_o bear_v a_o profession_n of_o here_o be_v matter_n of_o wonder_n indeed_o to_o cause_n john_n to_o wonder_v with_o great_a admiration_n as_o be_v express_v ver_fw-la 6._o and_o this_o now_o apt_o agree_v with_o the_o title_n of_o the_o great_a whore_n which_o title_n the_o persecute_v emperor_n do_v not_o so_o fit_o bear_v see_v they_o never_o own_v christ_n as_o their_o head_n and_o
