the_o carriage_n of_o all_o heretic_n and_o idolater_n in_o all_o age_n in_o their_o prevail_n have_v be_v too_o cruel_a to_o the_o church_n and_o the_o church_n on_o the_o contrary_a have_v be_v

the_o body_n of_o babylonian_n will_v one_o day_n find_v if_o they_o prevail_v that_o they_o will_v neither_o pity_v body_n estate_n or_o soul_n so_o far_o as_o lie_v in_o their_o power_n to_o

from_o off_o our_o neck_n that_o so_o it_o may_v never_o be_v put_v upon_o they_o either_o in_o popery_n or_o slavery_n which_o in_o all_o probability_n must_v needs_o be_v entail_v by_o we_o to_o

reward_v she_o as_o she_o have_v reward_v you_o and_o true_o my_o sentence_n be_v that_o god_n arm_n they_o with_o courage_n strength_n and_o weapon_n against_o his_o people_n because_o heretofore_o and_o now_o also_o they_o have_v and_o do_v find_v too_o much_o favour_n at_o our_o hand_n for_o if_o we_o will_v not_o do_v god_n will_n upon_o his_o enemy_n he_o can_v give_v they_o strength_n and_o
