have_v hear_v that_o antichrist_n coââ¦meth_v etc._n etc._n where_o bellarmine_n make_v the_o apostle_n reason_n thus_o we_o know_v antichrist_n shall_v come_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o now_o we_o see_v many_o petite_fw-fr antichrist_n as_o it_o be_v his_o forerunner_n therefore_o we_o know_v that_o this_o be_v the_o last_o hour_n and_o age_n of_o the_o world_n but_o if_o this_o reason_n of_o bellarmine_n frame_n be_v good_a we_o may_v upon_o his_o former_a ground_n conclude_v thus_o at_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n christ_n be_v to_o come_v but_o ever_o since_o the_o

papist_n to_o restrain_v his_o come_n until_o three_o year_n &_o a_o half_a before_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o as_o you_o see_v bellarmine_n allegation_n be_v either_o altogether_o
