the_o word_n three_o thing_n occur_v very_o natural_o to_o our_o thought_n from_o they_o with_o relation_n to_o this_o present_a occasion_n the_o first_o be_v the_o apprehension_n of_o danger_n from_o

i_o mean_v that_o be_v both_o so_o strong_a and_o so_o cruel_a a_o enemy_n and_o be_v as_o a_o lion_n go_v about_o seek_v how_o to_o devour_v all_o that_o differ_v from_o it_o as_o for_o the_o

whatsoever_o doctrine_n or_o practice_n their_o guide_n impose_v upon_o they_o and_o make_v they_o think_v that_o to_o doubt_v of_o any_o of_o these_o be_v a_o sin_n and_o that_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v open_v to_o the_o priest_n and_o can_v be_v take_v away_o but_o by_o his_o leave_n and_o pardon_v give_v by_o he_o the_o mystery_n of_o popery_n lie_v not_o so_o much_o in_o other_o
