In both which the authour conceives he hath said enough to keepe any man from the Roman Church, in the generall of religion, and from the Presbyterian congregation in the particular of the eucharist, or the Lords Supper: because St Paul saies, 1 Cor. 11. 16.

passage_n be_v allow_v concern_v babylon_n in_o their_o signification_n rome_n the_o seat_n of_o antichrist_n yet_o more_o than_o probable_a it_o be_v if_o the_o pope_n be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n
