christina_n and_o drabricius_n especial_o do_v pprophecy_n and_o treat_v of_o and_o withal_o we_o be_v teach_v here_o i._o that_o christ_n the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n be_v in_o no_o wise_a partial_a but_o that_o in_o every_o nation_n he_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o work_v righteousness_n be_v accept_v of_o he_o ii_o and_o for_o that_o reason_n in_o vain_a do_v man_n cry_v here_o be_v christ_n or_o there_o he_o be_v for_o that_o he_o be_v every_o where_o and_o will_v be_v seek_v find_v acknowledge_v love_a and_o worship_v every_o where_o envy_v none_o the_o participation_n of_o salvation_n iii_o that_o our_o violent_a dispute_n about_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n how_o wise_a soever_o they_o seem_v to_o we_o be_v but_o foolishness_n with_o god_n iu._n but_o that_o hatred_n for_o difference_n in_o faith_n and_o seeking_n to_o lord_n it_o over_o one_o another_o be_v a_o mere_a abomination_n v._o that_o to_o sit_v in_o the_o chair_n of_o moses_n or_o of_o christ_n or_o of_o peter_n without_o the_o verity_n of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o life_n of_o moses_n christ_n and_o peter_n be_v a_o vain_a thing_n as_o also_o to_o boast_v of_o the_o reform_a religion_n in_o doctrine_n and_o ceremony_n without_o a_o reform_a life_n vi_o that_o now_o christ_n will_v tolerate_v no_o more_o none_o for_o paul_n for_o apollo_n for_o cephas_n but_o only_o his_o disciple_n friend_n and_o brethren_n of_o what_o party_n soever_o salute_v one_o another_o mutual_o as_o fellow-disciple_n fellow-brethren_n fellow-servant_n vii_o and_o that_o all_o nation_n be_v about_o to_o be_v call_v to_o this_o fraternity_n of_o christ_n and_o communion_n of_o saint_n and_o that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o thing_n reform_v after_o his_o own_o mind_n and_o good_a pleasure_n viii_o and_o that_o till_o this_o be_v nothing_o but_o concitation_n and_o commotion_n of_o all_o the_o nation_n one_o against_o another_o and_o break_v one_o another_o to_o piece_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o now_o we_o come_v at_o length_n to_o the_o prophecy_n themselves_o in_o particular_a have_v give_v you_o first_o this_o general_a sum_n and_o comprehension_n of_o they_o by_o comenius_n that_o so_o
