that_o the_o protestant_n neither_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n itself_o nor_o in_o the_o puritan_n judgement_n can_v defend_v themselves_o &_o their_o pretend_a bishop_n but_o by_o establish_v

which_o the_o pope_n do_v persecute_v i_o be_o content_a to_o refer_v the_o decision_n of_o this_o question_n whether_o christian_a rome_n may_v be_v call_v babylon_n or_o no_o till_o he_o have_v show_v we_o a_o authentical_a canonisation_n of_o these_o his_o saint_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o shall_v be_v also_o as_o certane_v that_o ethnic_a rome_n be_v mean_v by_o babylon_n as_o that_o those_o bless_a martyr_n which_o die_v in_o those_o day_n be_v true_o the_o martyr_n of_o christ_n and_o glorious_a saint_n 9_o thus_o much_o m._n downam_n think_v sufficient_a to_o reply_v

that_o the_o temple_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v cease_v to_o be_v a_o temple_n when_o the_o jewish_a sacrifice_n and_o priesthood_n cease_v to_o which_o bellarmine_n answer_v that_o though_o it_o have_v

of_o god_n and_o beside_o since_o antichrist_n shall_v build_v it_o again_o for_o the_o jew_n and_o pretend_v not_o to_o withdraw_v they_o from_o the_o true_a god_n but_o to_o profess_v himself_o to_o

and_o show_v himself_o as_o god_n he_o will_v profess_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o true_a god_n and_o so_o either_o avouch_v that_o he_o be_v the_o god_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o who_o temple_n he_o
