A62896	An awakening voice to the Papists declaring to them the fallen state of the Pope from Peter's, and of the Church of Rome from what it once was : in love to the souls of those who have any uprightness in their hearts towards the Lord (but through ignorance are held in bondage) that they may be awaked, and see where they lie, and if any shall smother these things, lest they should come to the sight or knowledge of that people, let them take heed, that they bring not upon themselves the guilt of their blood / William Tomlinson.

call_v laity_n whereas_o peter_n call_v the_o plock_n that_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o be_v to_o be_v say_v and_o nourish_v with_o the_o word_n of_o life_n peter_n call_v they_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o clergy_n that_o be_v heritage_n or_o lot_n so_o he_o call_v the_o body_n of_o true_a believer_n god_n lot_n or_o heritage_n and_o the_o pope_n apply_v that_o only_a to_o his_o

of_o word_n contrary_a to_o peter_n of_o who_o he_o boast_v and_o the_o protestent_n have_v not_o yet_o reform_v themselves_o thorough_o in_o that_o particular_a but_o they_o still_o call_v their_o priest_n or_o teacher_n clergy_n and_o the_o rest-laity_n as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v the_o common_a people_n thus_o as_o the_o state_n of_o the_o popish_a church_n be_v fall_v from_o its_o purity_n so_o their_o language_n be_v also_o change_v with_o it_o and_o see_v the_o pope_n who_o boast_v of_o be_v peter_n successor_n have_v thus_o degenerate_v from_o the_o write_a tradition_n of_o peter_n what_o safe_a ground_n can_v any_o have_v to_o believe_v he_o in_o those_o he_o call_v unwritten_a tradition_n thus_o you_o may_v see_v what_o a_o vast_a difference_n there_o be_v between_o peter_n
