historian_n to_o see_v whether_o what_o the_o christian_n protestant_n church_n affirm_v be_v conform_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n or_o not_o then_o if_o baal_n be_v god_n follow_v he_o if_o the_o pope_n or_o his_o creature_n the_o host_n his_o imaginary_a deity_n be_v god_n follow_v he_o but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n but_o one_o all-sufficient_a eternal_a
