enlightned you withal which devours the creation and you are to be hewen down with the word which was in the beginning In the beginning was the word as you may read in John the word was before Babel

condemnation is come You are them that cumber the ground prophane persons cunning hunters drunkards and losty ones which exercise Lordship one over another you are out of the doctrine of Christ you
