they_o that_o pervert_v and_o deprave_v so_o many_o doctrine_n of_o religion_n do_v more_o especial_o enervate_a the_o mystery_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n if_o it_o be_v only_o on_o the_o account_n

how_o then_o can_v these_o man_n challenge_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n nay_o i_o can_v observe_v that_o they_o industrious_o comply_v with_o jew_n and_o turk_n in_o opposition_n to_o and_o
