they_o have_v be_v of_o we_o they_o will_v have_v continue_v with_o us._n thus_o say_v they_o even_o as_o before_o the_o end_n in_o this_o time_n which_o saint_n john_n call_v the_o last_o of_o all_o many_o heretic_n who_o he_o call_v many_o antichrist_n go_v out_o of_o the_o church_n so_o likewise_o hereafter_o all_o those_o that_o belong_v not_o unto_o christ_n but_o unto_o the_o last_o antichrist_n shall_v depart_v out_o of_o the_o midst_n of_o christ_n flock_n and_o then_o shall_v the_o man_n of_o sin_n be_v reveal_v thus_o one_o take_v the_o apostle_n word_n one_o way_n and_o another_o another_o way_n but_o this_o he_o mean_v assure_o that_o christ_n will_v not_o come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n until_o antichrist_n be_v here_o before_o he_o to_o seduce_v the_o world_n although_o it_o be_v god_n secret_a judgement_n that_o he_o shall_v thus_o seduce_v it_o for_o his_o come_n shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v say_v by_o the_o work_n of_o satan_n with_o all_o power_n and_o

in_o these_o miracle_n and_o do_v not_o what_o he_o seem_v to_o do_v or_o because_o that_o although_o they_o may_v be_v real_a action_n yet_o the_o end_n of_o they_o all_o be_v to_o draw_v ignorant_a mankind_n into_o this_o false_a conceit_n that_o such_o thing_n can_v not_o be_v do_v but_o by_o a_o divine_a power_n because_o they_o know_v not_o that_o the_o devil_n shall_v have_v more_o power_n give_v he_o then_o they_o ever_o he_o have_v have_v before_o for_o the_o fire_n that_o fall_v from_o heaven_n and_o burn_v the_o house_n and_o good_n of_o holy_a job_n and_o the_o whirlwind_n that_o

therefore_o in_o what_o respect_n these_o be_v call_v lie_v wonder_n shall_v be_v then_o more_o apparent_a howsoever_o they_o shall_v seduce_v such_o as_o deserve_v to_o be_v seduce_v because_o they_o receive_v not_o the_o love_n of_o truth_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v whereupon_o the_o apostle_n add_v this_o therefore_o shall_v god_n send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o shall_v
