that which he and his Posterity went from with which we reign over the world which will make him and all his Posterity and all the Heathen upon the earth to tremble who are called QUAKERS Here is

Churches and so the Popes image you have set up a top of your Church is not the Crosse still standing and upon your Ships is not the Crosse upon your silver upon your Gold upon your Weights and
