there_o be_v no_o town_n or_o city_n under_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n which_o have_v not_o such_o doctor_n and_o master_n as_o be_v create_v in_o the_o university_n for_o the_o

to_o be_v thus_o offend_v at_o christ_n and_o his_o thing_n christ_n the_o three_o general_n to_o be_v offend_v at_o christ_n 1._o it_o be_v a_o sign_n man_n be_v ignorant_a of_o christ_n and_o this_o appear_v in_o many_o particular_n 1._o one_o evil_n be_v that_o to_o be_v offend_v at_o christ_n and_o his_o thing_n be_v a_o certain_a evidence_n that_o man_n be_v whole_o ignorant_a of_o christ_n and_o of_o god_n though_o they_o be_v call_v christian_n and_o have_v the_o name_n of_o god_n always_o in_o their_o mouth_n for_o if_o man_n know_v christ_n aright_o and_o god_n in_o christ_n it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v be_v offend_v at_o he_o and_o inasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v offend_v it_o be_v certain_a they_o do_v not_o know_v he_o by_o any_o revelation_n from_o the_o father_n wherefore_o christ_n tell_v his_o disciple_n joh._n 16._o 3._o that_o the_o chief_a ground_n of_o that_o offence_n which_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a church_n shall_v take_v against_o they_o who_o be_v his_o true_a member_n and_o have_v receive_v the_o same_o word_n and_o spirit_n with_o he_o through_o true_a faith_n be_v because_o they_o have_v not_o know_v the_o father_n nor_o he_o for_o he_o that_o know_v christ_n in_o christian_n be_v not_o offend_v at_o they_o and_o he_o that_o know_v god_n in_o christ_n be_v not_o offend_v at_o he_o but_o they_o that_o be_v offend_v at_o christian_n know_v not_o christ_n and_o they_o that_o be_v offend_v at_o christ_n know_v not_o god_n 2._o when_o man_n be_v offend_v at_o christ_n and_o his_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n unbeliever_n 2._o that_o they_o be_v unbeliever_n they_o be_v real_a unbeliever_n what_o ever_o form_n of_o godliness_n they_o may_v live_v under_o and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v they_o have_v be_v old_a professor_n for_o peter_n say_v christ_n be_v precious_a to_o they_o that_o believe_v wherefore_o they_o that_o be_v offend_v be_v destitute_a of_o faith_n 3._o they_o that_o be_v offend_v at_o christ_n lose_v all_o that_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a advantage_n that_o come_v by_o christ_n to_o true_a believer_n and_o so_o christ_n 3._o they_o lose_v all_o advantage_n by_o christ_n fall_v short_a of_o the_o
