raise_v christ_n from_o the_o dead_a that_o shall_v raise_v the_o mortal_a body_n in_o which_o it_o dwell_v here_o up_o to_o life_n be_v it_o not_o the_o sin_n which_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n bring_v

and_o this_o mean_n as_o no_o christian_a can_v deny_v to_o be_v sufficient_a to_o oblige_v all_o the_o world_n to_o be_v christian_n so_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o want_v on_o god_n part_n to_o

which_o the_o whore_n of_o babylon_n in_o the_o apocalypse_n make_v the_o nation_n drink_v with_o be_v necessary_o the_o same_o idolatry_n therefore_o if_o the_o pope_n teach_v no_o such_o idolatry_n
