many_o become_v antichristes_n alredye_n and_o therefore_o the_o danger_n be_v not_o now_o only_o but_o then_o and_o always_o to_o be_v take_v heed_n unto_o and_o it_o be_v the_o more_o danger_n in_o

may_v understande_v by_o the_o death_n of_o chryste_n whereunto_o they_o all_o consent_v and_o agree_v eusebius_n yea_o but_o you_o must_v understande_v that_o our_o church_n begin_v first_o at_o

continue_v so_o long_o in_o that_o doctrine_n and_o ordinance_n which_o they_o deliver_v unto_o we_o &_o now_o therefore_o be_v that_o same_o waxen_a old_a by_o time_n which_o then_o be_v new_o

cry_v out_o and_o say_v they_o have_v no_o learning_n at_o all_o but_o only_o have_v read_v a_o english_a book_n a_o to_o penny_n book_n as_o for_o learning_n they_o have_v none_o and_o now_o again_o they_o say_v they_o deceive_v all_o the_o world_n by_o to_o much_o learning_n this_o they_o say_v they_o care_v not_o what_o so_o they_o be_v talk_v but_o now_o whereas_o you_o think_v my_o

antiquity_n now_o for_o that_o you_o have_v of_o long_a time_n continue_v in_o the_o doctrine_n and_o obseruaunce_n of_o the_o apostle_n i_o deny_v that_o and_o put_v you_o to_o your_o prove_n

the_o scripture_n do_v teach_v the_o same_o theophilus_n then_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o in_o what_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v you_o find_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o knee_n down_o to_o
