further_a complaint_n he_o say_v man_n do_v as_o the_o tyrant_n do_v of_o old_a and_o old_a story_n indeed_o and_o ill_o apply_v but_o though_o he_o be_v not_o he_o say_v certain_a of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o he_o be_v certain_a that_o some_o be_v little_o better_o mind_v that_o labour_n to_o cover_v the_o godly_a with_o such_o filth_n as_o they_o vomit_v out_o of_o their_o self-sick_a stomach_n to_o all_o which_o i_o say_v its_o more_o easy_a to_o see_v a_o moat_n in_o another_o eye_n than_o a_o beam_n in_o their_o own_o how_o do_v j._n s._n and_o those_o of_o his_o way_n cover_v the_o godly_a and_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n with_o the_o filth_n of_o their_o vomit_n which_o they_o cast_v forth_o and_o yet_o he_o wipe_v his_o mouth_n as_o innocent_a and_o wonderful_o as_o we_o

the_o least_o of_o these_o he_o will_v not_o endure_v to_o touch_v with_o his_o finger_n but_o he_o cry_v out_o bitter_o but_o as_o their_o deal_n be_v unequal_a in_o this_o even_o so_o it_o be_v in_o

all_o person_n and_o church_n in_o the_o world_n those_o few_o of_o his_o way_n except_v be_v void_a and_o null_a a_o idol_n and_o none_o of_o christ_n it_o follow_v say_v he_o that_o we_o be_v now_o to_o seek_v for_o the_o lord_n true_a baptism_n this_o be_v sure_a a_o wonderful_a case_n indeed_o that_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v thus_o lose_v and_o fall_v out_o of_o the_o world_n now_o say_v he_o in_o a_o case_n so_o difficult_a as_o some_o will_v make_v it_o two_o thing_n in_o special_a be_v to_o be_v inquire_v into_o first_o how_o or_o where_o to_o find_v it_o second_o how_o
