that_o the_o golden_a calf_n &_o baal_n be_v worship_v by_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n do_v it_o now_o follow_v that_o these_o people_n be_v one_o of_o they_o in_o no_o better_a estate_n than_o the_o

that_o by_o this_o grant_n mr._n ainsworthe_n company_n be_v in_o no_o better_a estate_n then_o mr._n johnsons_n because_o of_o the_o same_o word_n of_o loathe_v attribute_v unto_o both_o of_o they_o

hence_o see_v it_o be_v undeniable_o true_a that_o even_o israel_n in_o the_o wilderness_n notwithstanding_o all_o their_o abomination_n which_o the_o lord_n loathe_a be_v yet_o a_o true_a church_n

so_o may_v it_o be_v with_o england_n also_o though_o be_v in_o no_o better_a estate_n and_o thus_o the_o same_o arrow_n that_o he_o shoot_v at_o we_o return_n upon_o himself_o and_o pierce_v the_o

then_o separate_v from_o england_n in_o no_o sort_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v more_o cause_n to_o loathe_v the_o church_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n then_o in_o the_o wilderness_n
