why_o the_o romish_a babylon_n be_v not_o the_o antichrist_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n courteous_a reader_n peruse_v my_o zion_n redemption_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o answer_n give_v to_o it_o not_o value_v with_o it_o second_o you_o say_v that_o antichrist_n shall_v confess_v god_n and_o christ_n in_o word_n answ_n i_o pray_v when_o you_o write_v again_o inform_v i_o of_o who_o you_o learn_v that_o the_o antâ—christ_n will_v confess_v god_n or_o christ_n in_o word_n for_o as_o yet_o i_o never_o learn_v it_o from_o the_o scripture_n but_o i_o shall_v show_v that_o antichrist_n will_v never_o own_o christ_n in_o word_n or_o work_n and_o it_o be_v a_o main_a property_n in_o antichrist_n to_o deny_v christ_n in_o word_n as_o well_o as_o in_o work_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n john_n who_o be_v a_o liar_n but_o he_o that_o deni_v jesus_n to_o be_v the_o christ_n prove_v the_o antichrist_n will_v not_o confess_v christ_n in_o word_n nor_o work_n as_o be_v clear_o prove_v he_o be_v antichrist_n that_o deni_v the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n every_o spirit_n that_o confess_v not_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o antichrist_n for_o many_o deceiver_n be_v enter_v into_o the_o world_n who_o confess_v not_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v into_o the_o flesh_n this_o be_v a_o deceiver_n and_o a_o antichrist_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v the_o main_a property_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o antichrist_n to_o deny_v both_o in_o word_n and_o action_n any_o other_o god_n or_o christ_n save_v himself_o and_o this_o spirit_n be_v work_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n to_o bring_v forth_o that_o great_a design_n viz._n the_o man_n of_o sin_n or_o the_o antichrist_n as_o say_v

this_o be_v a_o clear_a truth_n i_o shall_v show_v from_o two_o plain_a text_n of_o scripture_n and_o first_o to_o the_o first_o that_o be_v that_o the_o pope_n kingdom_n shall_v be_v unterly_a

be_v the_o great_a city_n which_o reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n hence_o we_o see_v that_o those_o king_n that_o shall_v give_v their_o power_n and_o kingdom_n to_o the_o beist_n
