A56434	A shield of the truth, or, The truth of God cleared from scandals and reproaches cast upon it by scandalous and reproachfull tongues which the devil in all ages did make use of, whereby he blasphemed the truth of God, striving to present it odious in the eyes and ears of all people, that so he might uphold his own kingdom, but the day hath made him manifest, & the Lord is come, & is coming to make war with him, and bind him, and cast him into the bottomless pit and all who bears his image, and under his dominion is written by ...

devil_n whereby_o he_o exalt_v himself_o in_o man_n but_o james_n the_o apostle_n of_o jesus_n christ_n witness_v against_o it_o as_o in_o jam._n 2._o 1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5._o and_o so_o on_o and_o say_v

minister_n abide_v not_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o 9_o christ_n and_o so_o have_v not_o god_n but_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o minister_n they_o be_v who_o they_o exalt_v and_o now_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o partiality_n of_o the_o name_n in_o this_o your_o breed_n and_o manner_n first_o from_o a_o poor_a man_n to_o a_o rich_a man_n it_o be_v call_v honour_n and_o due_a respect_n and_o manner_n from_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o a_o poor_a man_n it_o be_v call_v courtesy_n and_o humility_n but_o among_o the_o rich_a and_o noble_n of_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v call_v courtlike_a breed_n but_o of_o those_o of_o low_a degree_n it_o be_v call_v country_n breed_v and_o among_o the_o low_a sort_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v call_v neighbourhood_n and_o civil_a respect_n one_o to_o

therefore_o they_o have_v the_o high_a title_n but_o woe_n unto_o they_o that_o hide_v their_o sin_n 1._o and_o cover_v with_o a_o cover_n and_o not_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o this_o be_v the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n that_o make_v so_o many_o degree_n as_o between_o dives_fw-la and_o lazarus_n and_o hamon_n and_o 26._o mordechai_n for_o the_o lord_n

so_o it_o be_v not_o many_o mighty_a nor_o many_o noble_a nor_o many_o wise_a after_o the_o flesh_n be_v call_v but_o god_n have_v choose_v the_o foolish_a thing_n of_o this_o world_n to_o confound_v

a_o great_a delusion_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o keep_v people_n in_o sin_n to_o tell_v they_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v make_v free_a from_o sin_n so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o bring_v this_o scripture_n to_o maintain_v it_o he_o that_o say_v he_o have_v no_o sin_n deceive_v himself_o and_o be_v a_o liar_n but_o he_o tell_v they_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o and_o if_o

and_o all_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n sin_v and_o so_o he_o take_v scripture_n to_o maintain_v his_o kingdom_n and_o this_o he_o deliver_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o minister_n which_o he_o
