A60170	A new naked truth, or, The sandy foundation of the Sacramental test shaken, by a warning-piece discharged from heaven against all sorts of persecutors wherein you may hold Christ crucified mystically and sacramentally, upon the cross of the sacramental penal test, with all the rest of the penal laws and tests attending thereon, and contributing thereunto / by Giles Shute ...

for_o these_o ensnare_a law_n be_v against_o the_o great_a charter_n of_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o persecuter_n be_v so_o much_o for_o they_o and_o so_o ready_a to_o obey_v they_o

by_o they_o then_o sinful_o to_o comply_v with_o they_o because_o that_o wicked_a persecute_v man_n and_o good_a man_n be_v of_o two_o contrary_a principle_n prov._n 29.27_o a_o unjust_a man_n be_v

to_o be_v do_v i_o humble_o conceive_v the_o first_o be_v you_o must_v destroy_v and_o take_v away_o all_o the_o key_n or_o rather_o legal_a picklock_n which_o these_o legal_a thief_n have_v with_o
