and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o poor_a dark_a and_o carnal_a professor_n of_o christ_n now_o this_o be_v diametrical_o opposite_a to_o christ_n rule_n who_o prevail_v upon_o

of_o religion_n that_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n second_o those_o that_o cause_n a_o image_n to_o be_v make_v they_o prescribe_v rule_n of_o worship_n &_o service_n

cause_n all_o to_o worship_v the_o image_n which_o they_o set_v up_o and_o by_o humane_a force_n and_o secular_a power_n do_v compel_v all_o man_n to_o follow_v their_o edict_n and_o platform_n to_o

suffer_v here_o in_o england_n do_v profess_v at_o his_o death_n that_o he_o die_v in_o that_o religion_n that_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n now_o christ_n do_v never_o call_v up_o the_o power_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o rule_v and_o bear_v sway_n in_o his_o kingdom_n the_o law_n by_o which_o christ_n do_v rule_v by_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n and_o of_o love_n the_o law_n of_o
