antichrist_n this_o sir_n i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v worthy_a of_o your_o consideration_n and_o i_o hope_v that_o you_o will_v not_o for_o the_o future_a rely_v much_o upon_o that_o distinction_n

of_o jerusalem_n have_v you_o set_v up_o altar_n to_o the_o shameful_a thing_n even_o altar_n to_o burn_v incense_n unto_o baal_n so_o you_o have_v your_o innumerable_a company_n of_o saint_n to_o

but_o in_o respect_n of_o those_o horrible_a abuse_n and_o vain_a fancy_n of_o those_o of_o your_o communion_n the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n may_v be_v just_o apply_v for_o you_o in_o your_o
