the_o mixture_n of_o heathen_a idolatry_n with_o christian_a service_n which_o the_o apostle_n caution_n the_o corinthian_n against_o 1_o cor._n 10.14_o and_o follow_v verse_n all_o which_o with_o

work_n 2.1_o 2_o pet._n 2.1_o creep_v in_o as_o it_o be_v unaware_o and_o so_o far_o it_o remain_v a_o mystery_n still_o in_o that_o it_o work_v with_o all_o possible_a art_n and_o subtlety_n notwithstanding_o the_o great_a power_n and_o strength_n it_o now_o have_v and_o how_o long_o it_o will_v be_v suffer_v to_o do_v so_o god_n only_o know_v 3._o how_o do_v this_o mystery_n of_o

the_o more_o reason_n to_o do_v so_o because_o it_o be_v now_o grow_v more_o strong_a and_o confident_a more_o plain_a and_o open_a and_o yet_o no_o less_o cunning_a and_o subtle_a and_o by_o

lie_n and_o perjury_n 3._o by_o cruelty_n and_o bloody_a practice_n 4._o by_o incredulity_n and_o 5._o by_o good_a nature_a if_o not_o treacherous_a connivance_n 1._o it_o work_v by_o corrupt_a principle_n so_o indeed_o it_o do_v then_o and_o this_o way_n chief_o because_o it_o have_v neither_o strength_n nor_o opportunity_n to_o do_v otherwise_o but_o yet_o those_o principle_n than_o be_v neither_o so_o many_o nor_o so_o bad_a as_o they_o be_v now_o they_o be_v then_o only_o such_o as_o mislead_v man_n into_o error_n from_o some_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o only_o at_o a_o distance_n and_o that_o secret_o too_o giving_z liberty_n and_o encouragement_n to_o sinful_a practice_n but_o these_o now_o be_v such_o as_o corrupt_v and_o debauch_v man_n mind_n that_o do_v direct_o

but_o to_o mention_v some_o few_o of_o they_o and_o you_o will_v plain_o see_v the_o undoubted_a truth_n of_o what_o i_o say_v the_o first_o be_v that_o of_o the_o pope_n power_n of_o grant_v pardon_n

this_o i_o can_v the_o easy_o forgive_v they_o because_o it_o give_v the_o happy_a occasion_n of_o the_o reformation_n so_o seasonable_o begin_v and_o so_o vigorous_o and_o successful_o prosecute_v in_o germany_n by_o luther_n only_o i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n what_o a_o pretty_a faculty_n it_o have_v of_o pick_v man_n purse_n whilst_o they_o themselves_o look_v on_o and_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v cheat_v of_o their_o money_n as_o long_o as_o they_o may_v be_v let_v alone_o nay_o encourage_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o indeed_o what_o can_v do_v it_o better_o than_o such_o a_o device_n for_o who_o need_n fear_v to_o commit_v any_o sin_n when_o a_o purse-pennance_n will_v expiate_v it_o of_o the_o same_o indulgent_a nature_n with_o this_o be_v that_o principle_n of_o auricular_a

therefore_o no_o wonder_n if_o this_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n prevail_v so_o easy_o upon_o sensual_a and_o carnal_a men._n 2._o this_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n work_v now_o by_o subornation_n lie_v
