of_o which_o sort_n the_o state_n here_o mean_v be_v there_o have_v be_v and_o be_v great_a opposition_n many_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v the_o roman_a empire_n to_o which_o i_o can_v consent_v because_o the_o roman_a empire_n be_v ordain_v of_o god_n and_o be_v therefore_o a_o lawful_a dominion_n but_o the_o dominion_n here_o represent_v be_v say_v to_o be_v from_o the_o dragon_n that_o old_a serpent_n the_o devil_n who_o be_v say_v to_o give_v his_o power_n and_o his_o throne_n and_o great_a authority_n unto_o it_o and_o therefore_o unlawful_a neither_o can_v i_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v any_o other_o civil_a dominion_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n but_o to_o be_v short_a i_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v a_o ecclesiastical_a sit_v or_o dominion_n and_o in_o particular_a that_o dominion_n which_o be_v call_v the_o catholic_a church_n representative_a consist_v of_o the_o prelacy_n and_o preisthood_n of_o many_o nation_n as_o patriarch_n cardinal_n archbishop_n bishop_n

before_o and_o also_o since_o the_o pope_n be_v exalt_v to_o his_o dignity_n as_o all_o history_n of_o the_o church_n do_v testify_v so_o that_o it_o have_v be_v and_o be_v a_o great_a question_n among_o the_o catholic_n whether_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o pope_n or_o the_o catholic_n church_n in_o case_n of_o religion_n be_v the_o great_a and_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o 12._o vers_fw-la that_o the_o second_o beast_n exercise_v all_o the_o power_n of_o the_o first_o beast_n before_o he_o thereby_o be_v confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o exposition_n for_o the_o second_o beast_n be_v the_o pope_n as_o hereafter_o be_v show_v have_v exercise_v the_o whole_a power_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n or_o general_a counsel_n and_o not_o of_o any_o other_o state_n or_o

and_o although_o by_o mean_n of_o their_o guide_n which_o make_v they_o to_o err_v and_o go_v astray_o keep_v they_o in_o ignorance_n of_o this_o doctrine_n yet_o it_o shall_v go_v well_o with_o they_o such_o person_n i_o say_v be_v fit_a stone_n for_o the_o build_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o so_o long_o as_o they_o remain_v in_o this_o confusion_n they_o can_v no_o more_o be_v

from_o the_o wicked_a and_o place_v together_o according_a to_o the_o order_n prescribe_v by_o christ_n jesus_n and_o practise_v by_o his_o apostle_n as_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n before_o they_o can_v be_v so_o esteem_v as_o these_o prelate_n will_v have_v this_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v account_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n so_o they_o will_v have_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v account_v false_a schismatical_a and_o heretical_a as_o in_o the_o 9_o 10._o and_o 11._o canon_n by_o which_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o if_o any_o people_n separate_v from_o

flock_n of_o christ_n whereof_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v make_v they_o overseer_n on_o the_o contrary_a these_o prelate_n in_o stead_n of_o elder_n to_o feed_v one_o flock_n they_o do_v ordain_v

to_o christ_n and_o frame_v and_o build_v together_o according_a to_o the_o pattern_n prescribe_v in_o his_o testament_n it_o be_v indeed_o a_o argument_n that_o their_o kingdom_n shall_v not_o long_o

shall_v not_o stand_v and_o if_o satan_n cast_v out_o satan_n he_o be_v divide_v against_o himself_o how_o shall_v then_o his_o kingdom_n stand_v thus_o by_o the_o division_n of_o this_o great_a
