and_o in_o many_o other_o point_n of_o their_o religion_n there_o be_v apparent_a repugnancy_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yea_o of_o their_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n we_o may_v as_o true_o say_v as_o the_o apostle_n do_v of_o heathen_a idol_n worship_n that_o they_o sacrifice_v not_o unto_o god_n but_o to_o the_o devil_n for_o therein_o be_v as_o vile_a accurse_a and_o abominable_a idolatry_n as_o ever_o be_v devise_v by_o man_n so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a the_o devil_n do_v mighty_o prevail_v in_o cause_v man_n to_o worship_v he_o yea_o he_o prevail_v thus_o not_o only_o in_o
