to_o this_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o pass_v over_o all_o the_o matter_n before_o i_o shall_v speak_v brief_o to_o the_o word_n themselves_o and_o first_o for_o the_o great_a city_n if_o you_o

and_o condemn_v by_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o state_n of_o pride_n which_o word_n begin_v with_o p._n and_o for_o those_o three_o division_n here_o speak_v of_o it_o be_v three_o power_n or_o

unquestionable_o it_o begin_v with_o p_o as_o well_o as_o the_o two_o farmer_n but_o when_o we_o see_v it_o or_o rather_o feel_v the_o smart_n of_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o then_o shall_v we_o the_o better_a understand_v it_o &_o be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o description_n of_o it_o but_o i_o speak_v no_o more_o of_o this_o verse_n but_o you_o may_v object_v and_o say_v though_o i_o will_v not_o give_v forth_o my_o thought_n any_o further_a of_o this_o scripture_n or_o especial_o of_o the_o three_o state_n that_o live_v in_o it_o or_o flow_v from_o it_o but_o you_o say_v we_o shall_v better_o understand_v it_o when_o we_o feel_v the_o execution_n of_o the_o power_n of_o it_o but_o may_v we_o not_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n have_v some_o symptom_n how_o to_o discover_v it_o other_o

of_o christ_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o antichrist_n as_o these_o doctrine_n do_v which_o i_o shall_v name_v to_o you_o first_o that_o doctrine_n which_o teach_v man_n not_o to_o

that_o be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o antichrist_n and_o not_o of_o god_n second_o that_o doctrine_n that_o hold_v forth_o religion_n as_o only_o enter_v in_o a_o law_n and_o not_o produce_v by_o love_n
