the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n where_o a_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n prevail_v which_o be_v not_o according_a to_o god_n word_n but_o man_n will_n and_o where_o judaism_n and_o heathenism_n be_v mingle_v together_o into_o one_o mongrel_n religion_n most_o odious_a and_o abominable_a to_o god_n and_o his_o people_n and_o so_o the_o university_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v only_o
