jesus_n christ_n all_o the_o world_n know_v that_o babylon_n grow_v great_a at_o first_o by_o claim_v a_o universal_a jurisdiction_n in_o spiritual_n over_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n by_o

the_o trent-creed_n nor_o the_o romish-liturgy_n the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v a_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n and_o therefore_o need_v not_o send_v to_o babylon_n to_o rome_n for_o prayer_n the_o papist_n seem_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o their_o liturgy_n be_v corrupt_a because_o they_o have_v often_o pretend_v and_o as_o some_o boast_n have_v real_o make_v several_a reformation_n of_o their_o

liturgy_n for_o the_o worse_o as_o if_o the_o missal_n have_v be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la and_o therefore_o the_o liturgy_n can_v never_o come_v near_o enough_o to_o the_o roman_a mass_n believe_v it_o if_o the_o faction_n that_o be_v now_o up_o in_o arm_n prevail_v we_o shall_v have_v that_o service_n book_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o scotland_n or_o a_o a_o heaven_n worse_o some_o
