way_n to_o accomplish_v his_o design_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n be_v and_o will_v be_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n when_o every_o member_n act_v by_o

to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n by_o set_v up_o the_o power_n of_o his_o life_n among_o man_n till_o therefore_o i_o shall_v see_v either_o the_o character_n of_o this_o life_n

will_v become_v prevalent_a to_o lead_v all_o man_n thought_n and_o affection_n captive_a to_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o will_n i_o shall_v not_o much_o rejoice_v nor_o great_o triumph_v at_o any_o of_o our_o outward_a conquest_n i_o remember_v that_o the_o whore_n be_v long_o ago_o cast_v out_o from_o among_o we_o for_o our_o hierarchy_n by_o the_o king_n and_o queen_n consent_n be_v abolish_v

rage_n be_v great_a than_o ever_o for_o the_o interest_n of_o a_o tyrannical_a power_n aswell_o over_o the_o conscience_n as_o over_o the_o body_n and_o estate_n of_o man_n and_o that_o two_o manner_n

the_o lamblike_a state_n of_o christianity_n a_o long_a while_n after_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o protestant_n may_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o fall_v prophet_n be_v entangle_v
