correct_v the_o child_n so_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o he_o will_v burn_v the_o rod_n too_o i_o say_v no_o more_o but_o as_o you_o be_v man_n who_o christ_n have_v shed_v his_o blood_n for_o

against_o joseph_n and_o after_o the_o church_n of_o god_n come_v to_o be_v a_o corporated_a people_n and_o have_v a_o temple_n with_o ordinance_n and_o officer_n than_o it_o be_v pester_v with_o

remain_v a_o prophet_n to_o the_o lord_n so_o 1_o king_n 19.10_o thus_o if_o you_o please_v to_o observe_v in_o scripture_n wherever_o you_o find_v the_o church_n of_o god_n before_o christ_n incarnation_n in_o apostasy_n or_o decline_v from_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n to_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n the_o original_a cause_n of_o it_o arise_v from_o the_o lie_a spirit_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o their_o false_a prophet_n which_o lead_v they_o and_o so_o you_o find_v when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o come_v in_o flesh_n to_o bring_v the_o word_n of_o
