they_o must_v judge_v christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n to_o be_v false_a prophet_n and_o as_o such_o must_v kill_v they_o by_o their_o law_n thus_o they_o do_v they_o deal_v so_o first_o with_o christ_n

such_o as_o it_o be_v not_o ground_v on_o scripture_n but_o on_o that_o false_a rule_n of_o oral_a tradition_n in_o defence_n of_o their_o tradition_n they_o kill_v the_o follower_n and_o even_o the_o

be_v all_o one_o to_o he_o that_o suffer_v whether_o he_o die_v by_o the_o sword_n of_o justice_n or_o whether_o he_o have_v his_o throat_n cut_v in_o a_o massacre_n or_o by_o assassination_n but_o as_o to_o the_o author_n it_o be_v far_o different_a the_o sword_n of_o justice_n may_v be_v abuse_v in_o many_o respect_n and_o be_v so_o sometime_o in_o all_o nation_n it_o may_v kill_v the_o

aught_o to_o be_v odious_a in_o all_o nation_n yet_o some_o will_v do_v it_o and_o justify_v it_o my_o text_n say_v some_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o do_v it_o yea_o and_o justify_v it_o upon_o the_o

any_o principle_n for_o it_o among_o christian_n but_o they_o in_o the_o roman_a church_n it_o seem_v as_o if_o christ_n look_v upon_o they_o when_o he_o say_v these_o word_n to_o his_o disciple_n it_o appear_v he_o think_v of_o they_o if_o what_o he_o say_v to_o his_o disciple_n be_v intend_v of_o any_o sort_n of_o christian_n he_o declare_v elsewhere_o joh._n 17._o 20._o that_o what_o he_o
