horrible_a blasphemer_n that_o will_v call_v it_o the_o most_o ancient_a true_a and_o holy_a catholic_a religion_n again_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n 2._o thessalon_n 2._o

13._o and_o 17._o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n show_v to_o be_v the_o church_n of_o antichrist_n 5_o that_o for_o the_o first_o six_o hundred_o and_o six_o year_n next_o after_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o popish_a church_n neither_o can_v be_v because_o there_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o a_o universal_a pope_n establish_v in_o rome_n to_o make_v it_o a_o popish_a church_n therefore_o as_o no_o

the_o same_o that_o the_o other_o apostle_n be_v and_o therefore_o the_o pope_n can_v just_o claim_v from_o he_o to_o be_v call_v universal_a head_n of_o all_o christian_a bishop_n that_o the_o

who_o iniquity_n be_v forgive_v and_o who_o sin_n be_v cover_v blessed_n be_v the_o man_n to_o who_o the_o lord_n impute_v not_o sin_n so_o that_o hereby_o we_o see_v it_o most_o manifest_a that_o

for_o be_v whole_o or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o justification_n in_o that_o he_o say_v rom._n 11._o if_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n it_o be_v no_o more_o of_o work_n if_o it_o be_v of_o
