will_v lie_v in_o the_o way_n of_o those_o who_o observe_v this_o to_o inquire_v what_o st._n paul_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v that_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n some_o shall_v depart_v from_o the_o

will_v not_o seem_v so_o miraculous_a to_o they_o who_o shall_v serious_o consider_v that_o the_o clergy_n have_v be_v more_o than_o these_o thousand_o year_n upon_o the_o catch_n and_o a_o form_a unite_a corporation_n against_o the_o purity_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o interest_n of_o mankind_n and_o have_v not_o only_o wrest_v the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o their_o own_o advantage_n which_o
