church_n why_o do_v our_o adversary_n make_v no_o end_n of_o bitter_a contention_n against_o we_o we_o have_v indeed_o great_a &_o sure_a promise_n that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o

of_o israel_n have_v not_o such_o promise_n of_o continual_a presence_n and_o preservation_n of_o truth_n as_o the_o christian_a church_n have_v it_o be_v a_o treacherous_a sophism_n for_o they_o
