you_o reduce_v this_o all_o unto_o four_o head_n first_o that_o he_o shall_v deny_v jesus_n to_o be_v the_o christ_n and_o thereupon_o shall_v oppugn_v all_o our_o saviour_n ordinance_n as_o baptism_n

himself_o to_o be_v the_o true_a christ_n promise_v in_o the_o law_n and_o prophet_n three_o he_o shall_v affirm_v himself_o to_o be_v god_n and_o will_v be_v honour_v as_o god_n last_o he_o shall_v

take_v four_o argument_n that_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o antichrist_n because_o he_o deny_v not_o jesus_n to_o be_v the_o christ_n neither_o bring_v he_o in_o circumcision_n or_o the_o sabbath_n neither_o do_v he_o make_v himself_o christ_n nor_o god_n and_o least_o of_o all_o the_o only_a god_n but_o honour_v even_o image_n and_o dead_a saint_n which_o what_o force_n they_o have_v for_o this_o thing_n we_o shall_v afterward_o see_v in_o the_o confirmation_n which_o you_o bring_v the_o first_o point_n therefore_o you_o confirm_v by_o this_o that_o antichrist_n by_o nation_n and_o
