i_o answer_v every_o true_a minister_n or_o pastor_n have_v his_o authority_n to_o execute_v his_o function_n as_o christian_a as_o nor_o be_v a_o strict_a and_o formal_a reduplication_n but_o take_v specifical_o see_v to_o be_v a_o christian_n be_v as_o necessary_a to_o every_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n as_o to_o be_v a_o live_a creature_n be_v necessary_a to_o be_v a_o man_n or_o to_o be_v a_o man_n be_v necessary_a to_o be_v a_o soldier_n or_o magistrate_n or_o lawyer_n and_o whereas_o i._o a._n say_v that_o christian_a and_o antichristian_a be_v not_o contradictory_n term_n see_v many_o person_n be_v neither_o christian_a nor_o antichristian_a i_o answer_v again_o as_o they_o be_v take_v indefinite_o they_o be_v not_o contradictory_n but_o as_o restrict_v to_o such_o as_o bear_v the_o name_n and_o profession_n of_o christianity_n they_o be_v perfect_o contradictory_n so_o that_o every_o one_o that_o profess_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o christian_n such_o as_o the_o pope_n

but_o what_o a_o miserable_a shift_n and_o evasion_n this_o be_v and_o how_o contrary_a to_o scripture_n and_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o most_o sound_a of_o all_o protestant_a writer_n i_o leave_v the_o sober_a reader_n to_o judge_v for_o do_v not_o the_o scripture_n plain_o declare_v that_o mystery_n babylon_n be_v to_o rule_v over_o the_o nation_n and_o deceive_v they_o and_o drink_v the_o

unto_o she_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n before_o luther_n for_o in_o every_o century_n god_n raise_v up_o his_o witness_n against_o she_o as_o the_o church_n history_n do_v plain_o and_o full_o
