not_o remain_v with_o any_o nation_n without_o error_n or_o heresy_n to_o long_o as_o he_o have_v do_v with_o we_o so_o that_o of_o all_o nation_n we_o may_v be_v count_v most_o unworthy_a for_o

you_o see_v by_o reason_n they_o love_v not_o the_o truth_n he_o have_v make_v they_o to_o prefer_v the_o leaven_n of_o the_o pharisy_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o this_o be_v the_o righteous_a

which_o he_o let_v we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o majesty_n nor_o power_n in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n that_o can_v come_v near_o in_o glory_n majesty_n or_o power_n to_o our_o great_a god_n that_o be_v there_o be_v no_o arm_n force_n counsel_n nor_o endeavour_n that_o can_v prevail_v against_o god_n so_o the_o nation_n that_o have_v god_n upon_o their_o side_n have_v more_o with_o they_o then_o be_v against_o they_o upon_o this_o i_o desire_v you_o see_v we_o have_v such_o a_o advantage_n of_o the_o dwell_n of_o god_n to_o prepare_v a_o clean_a chamber_n where_o he_o may_v make_v his_o
