they_o go_v not_o into_o egypt_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o many_o man_n as_o to_o the_o answer_n of_o their_o prayer_n when_o they_o be_v intend_v before_o that_o such_o a_o thing_n they_o will_v do_v and_o then_o they_o go_v to_o prayer_n to_o seek_v direction_n from_o god_n and_o it_o may_v be_v for_o once_o god_n answer_v by_o some_o notion_n in_o prayer_n contrary_a to_o their_o intend_a

weighty_a undertake_n again_o he_o say_v in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o reader_n that_o if_o the_o presbyterian_a can_v give_v he_o satisfaction_n that_o he_o be_v mistake_v he_o will_v willing_o recant_v and_o be_v sorry_a for_o his_o error_n but_o withal_o he_o say_v he_o assure_v himself_o that_o the_o beast_n with_o all_o his_o power_n and_o the_o false_a prophet_n with_o all_o his_o skill_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o that_o be_v to_o give_v he_o satisfaction_n that_o he_o be_v mistake_v i_o answer_v that_o in_o these_o very_a expression_n of_o he_o be_v prove_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o have_v write_v above_o that_o many_o man_n first_o resolve_v what_o they_o will_v do_v and_o then_o they_o will_v by_o prayer_n seek_v direction_n from_o god_n and_o from_o friend_n so_o here_o the_o bishop_n promise_v that_o if_o the_o presbyterian_a can_v give_v he_o satisfaction_n that_o he_o be_v mistake_v he_o will_v recant_v but_o he_o be_v resolve_v and_o assure_v before_o hand_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o give_v he_o satisfaction_n with_o all_o their_o power_n and_o skill_n and_o it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o the_o beast_n or_o false_a prophet_n will_v ever_o show_v the_o bishop_n his_o mistake_n for_o in_o so_o do_v antechrist_n the_o pope_n who_o be_v the_o beast_n or_o false_a prophet_n shall_v act_v against_o himself_o to_o the_o ruin_n of_o his_o own_o kingdom_n nay_o the_o beast_n will_v rather_o stroke_v his_o head_n and_o hug_v he_o as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v as_o the_o devil_n huge_v the_o witch_n for_o the_o good_a service_n he_o have_v do_v he_o in_o take_v so_o much_o pain_n to_o excuse_v he_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v he_o to_o be_v the_o antichrist_n and_o when_o he_o die_v he_o will_v canonize_v he_o with_o thomas_n becket_n for_o another_o english_a or_o welsh_a saint_n but_o to_o deal_v engenious_o and_o true_o with_o you_o though_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v hear_v some_o of_o every_o sort_n preach_v yet_o be_v i_o never_o unite_v and_o join_v in_o church-fellowship_n neither_o with_o presbyterian_a independent_a anabaptist_n or_o lay-preacher_n as_o yet_o and_o therefore_o be_v i_o be_o none_o of_o they_o i_o will_v endeavour_v in_o the_o strength_n and_o by_o the_o assistance_n i_o hope_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o show_v you_o your_o mistake_n and_o if_o you_o be_v so_o wed_v to_o your_o own_o opinion_n that_o you_o will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v yet_o it_o may_v perhaps_o satisfy_v some_o other_o and_o then_o my_o labour_n will_v not_o be_v lose_v therefore_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o put_v it_o to_o the_o trial_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o i_o shall_v answer_v every_o particular_a whimsy_n and_o cavil_n that_o be_v in_o his_o book_n for_o there_o be_v much_o greek_a and_o latin_a in_o it_o and_o i_o be_v never_o so_o great_a a_o scholar_n as_o to_o understand_v either_o greek_a or_o latin_a and_o therefore_o i_o must_v entreat_v the_o christian_a reader_n to_o bear_v with_o my_o weakness_n if_o i_o do_v miscall_v some_o word_n or_o not_o spell_v they_o right_o and_o endeavour_v to_o pick_v out_o the_o sense_n neither_o will_v i_o answer_v all_o nor_o half_a of_o what_o he_o have_v write_v in_o english_a but_o so_o much_o as_o i_o think_v may_v give_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o impartial_a reader_n to_o judge_v whether_o the_o bishop_n or_o i_o be_v most_o mistake_v and_o as_o i_o say_v above_o we_o will_v in_o the_o first_o place_n see_v what_o the_o scripture_n say_v as_o to_o this_o business_n to_o show_v who_o be_v antichrist_n
