nothing_o else_o but_o a_o very_a lump_n mass_n and_o body_n of_o apostasy_n what_o a_o proper_a nice_a disstinction_n be_v this_o to_o say_v that_o our_o magistrate_n have_v indeed_o sever_v themselves_o from_o the_o corruption_n of_o apostasy_n but_o not_o from_o apostasy_n itself_o as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o apostasy_n but_o corruption_n therefore_o if_o m._n some_o do_v think_v he_o have_v any_o advantage_n that_o way_n good_a leave_n have_v he_o to_o make_v his_o best_a of_o it_o for_o we_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o say_v and_o say_v it_o again_o yea_o and_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o proclaim_v it_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o all_o the_o church_n in_o the_o world_n that_o q._n elizabeth_n &_o her_o godly_a magistrate_n have_v not_o only_o sever_v themselves_o from_o the_o plague_n that_o pester_v the_o city_n but_o from_o the_o very_a city_n of_o sodom_n itself_o not_o only_o as_o he_o say_v from_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o popish_a church_n but_o from_o the_o very_a popish_a church_n itself_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v in_o no_o sort_n the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v overthrow_v the_o foundation_n and_o therefore_o must_v

worthy_a distinction_n of_o our_o magistrate_n not_o sever_a themselves_n from_o the_o church_n but_o from_o the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o church_n etc._n etc._n be_v by_o this_o mean_n quite_o quash_v
