refer_v the_o vision_n of_o the_o seventeen_o chapter_n of_o the_o apocalypse_n to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o i_o hope_v to_o any_o unprejudiced_a reader_n that_o have_v leisure_n to_o

ghost_n but_o rather_o quite_o contrary_a 8._o the_o second_o prop_n be_v that_o whether_o a_o synod_n be_v or_o be_v not_o assist_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o be_v to_o stand_v to_o their_o

to_o all_o outward_a appearance_n as_o before_o so_o that_o christ_n be_v fain_o to_o be_v at_o the_o expense_n of_o a_o perpetual_a miracle_n to_o make_v the_o transubstantiated_a bread_n look_v like_o bread_n still_o though_o it_o be_v real_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o hang_v on_o the_o cross_n at_o jerusalem_n which_o as_o i_o have_v note_v above_o be_v against_o his_o wisdom_n and_o

whether_o we_o be_v to_o stand_v to_o the_o determination_n of_o a_o fallible_a synod_n in_o a_o point_n that_o beside_o what_o i_o have_v already_o hint_v contradict_v all_o those_o common_a notion_n

when_o they_o machinate_v that_o which_o so_o manifest_o tend_v according_a as_o the_o synod_n acknowledge_v to_o the_o damnation_n of_o such_o a_o multitude_n of_o soul_n which_o before_o the_o
