god_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o that_o by_o his_o word_n he_o ought_v to_o be_v serve_v and_o worship_v of_o all_o mankind_n i_o say_v let_v they_o do_v it_o if_o they_o can_v but_o in_o despite_n of_o they_o i_o say_v again_o they_o can_v for_o all_o that_o ever_o they_o do_v be_v no_o more_o but_o as_o if_o by_o spetle_v they_o shall_v prove_v or_o go_v about_o to_o pierce_v the_o heaven_n and_o so_o spit_v upward_a according_o and_o then_o the_o same_o fall_n back_o again_o into_o their_o own_o face_n whereby_o they_o be_v filthy_o foul_v to_o their_o own_o reproach_n wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o fear_v they_o in_o none_o of_o their_o brag_n but_o let_v we_o put_v on_o the_o armour_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o throw_v away_o all_o human_a affiance_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o by_o our_o affliction_n and_o death_n be_v destroy_v and_o overthrow_v the_o enemy_n contradytor_n and_o geinsayor_n of_o we_o &_o the_o gospel_n for_o god_n do_v deal_v with_o our_o enemy_n now_o in_o the_o same_o order_n manner_n and_o form_n as_o he_o do_v with_o they_o in_o time_n past_a which_o persecute_v &_o speak_v against_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n because_o that_o they_o teach_v the_o same_o gospel_n of_o life_n which_o we_o now_o have_v and_o teach_v by_o christ_n we_o live_v and_o for_o he_o we_o suffer_v persecution_n even_o so_o do_v they_o yet_o he_o have_v always_o get_v the_o victory_n as_o well_o for_o they_o as_o for_o we_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o tempt_v god_n but_o let_v we_o trust_v whole_o in_o he_o his_o mercy_n power_n and_o

and_o care_v not_o whither_o they_o go_v forward_o yea_o or_o no_o sure_o and_o without_o doubt_n there_o be_v none_o other_o cause_n but_o that_o only_a by_o the_o instigation_n of_o the_o devil_n they_o be_v so_o deceive_v that_o they_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o honour_n &_o put_v their_o trust_v whole_o one_o in_o a_o other_o take_v man_n for_o their_o staff_n to_o stay_v upon_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v stand_v in_o all_o their_o trouble_n regard_v human_a favour_n so_o much_o that_o they_o leave_v god_n and_o fly_v thereunto_o for_o refuge_n in_o all_o their_o adversity_n and_o
