spirit_n and_o principle_n of_o persecution_n contrary_a to_o the_o great_a command_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o he_o call_v the_o royal_a law_n of_o love_n and_o to_o the_o great_a duty_n of_o

from_o other_o to_o their_o interpretation_n this_o i_o conceive_v be_v the_o antichrist_n who_o sit_v as_o god_n in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n the_o spirit_n and_o conscience_n of_o man_n 24._o

be_v have_v the_o pope_n with_o his_o consistory_n be_v in_o the_o place_n of_o it_o so_o that_o the_o papist_n do_v all_o of_o they_o profess_v a_o infallibility_n of_o judgement_n and_o

if_o they_o be_v infallible_a as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o ridiculous_a so_o be_v it_o in_o my_o thought_n a_o aggravation_n of_o the_o crime_n and_o make_v it_o more_o antichristian_a in_o they_o then_o in_o the_o pope_n himself_o who_o peradventure_o act_v in_o this_o according_a to_o what_o he_o hold_v but_o these_o just_a contrary_a to_o what_o themselves_o believe_v and_o profess_v i_o
