be_v a_o bastard_n christianity_n christianity_n that_o god_n shall_v disallow_v at_o the_o last_o day_n for_o as_o much_o as_o at_o this_o day_n he_o have_v condemn_v it_o by_o his_o word_n if_o we_o desire_v to_o flee_v back_o and_o retire_v from_o the_o world_n and_o from_o such_o approve_a perdition_n there_o be_v nothing_o better_a than_o to_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o s._n paul_n the_o which_o will_v to_o correct_v the_o evil_a that_o the_o corrinthian_n have_v join_v to_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o they_o i_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o which_o i_o

shall_v then_o have_v amongst_o we_o a_o christianity_n continual_o mix_v and_o counterfeit_v i_o say_v this_o because_o that_o some_o under_o the_o colour_n of_o moderation_n be_v of_o opinion_n to_o

and_o unto_o who_o we_o ought_v only_o incline_v give_v we_o other_o instruction_n for_o when_o david_n speak_v of_o idol_n he_o say_v that_o their_o name_n shall_v not_o pass_v by_o his_o mouth_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o declare_v unto_o we_o in_o what_o detestation_n and_o contempt_n we_o ought_v always_o to_o have_v they_o and_o if_o in_o such_o wickedness_n we_o ought_v to_o consider_v

that_o have_v and_o do_v yet_o still_o provoke_v we_o to_o commit_v such_o evil_n as_o be_v allurement_n which_o serve_v not_o but_o only_o to_o seduce_v the_o poor_a simple_a soul_n on_o the_o

they_o be_v so_o harden_v that_o no_o man_n can_v attain_v to_o their_o good_a and_o perfect_a end_n then_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v leave_v unto_o they_o some_o relic_n or_o fond_a fantasy_n to_o

so_o likewise_o it_o be_v not_o unseemly_a to_o use_v the_o ceremony_n according_a to_o the_o time_n and_o grossness_n of_o the_o people_n but_o it_o may_v not_o be_v that_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v
