discourse_n what_o his_o present_a apprehension_n be_v concern_v a_o very_a great_a persecution_n which_o shall_v fall_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o these_o nation_n of_o england_n

the_o temple_n and_o before_o the_o altar_n be_v those_o who_o do_v indeed_o worship_n god_n to_o spirit_n and_o truth_n who_o soul_n be_v make_v his_o temple_n and_o he_o be_v honour_v and_o adore_v in_o the_o most_o inward_a thought_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o they_o sacrifice_v their_o lust_n and_o vile_a affection_n yea_o and_o their_o own_o will_n to_o he_o and_o these_o god_n will_v hide_v in_o the_o hollow_a of_o his_o hand_n and_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n and_o this_o shall_v be_v one_o great_a difference_n between_o this_o last_o and_o all_o the_o other_o precede_a

last_o persecution_n these_o shall_v be_v preserve_v by_o god_n as_o a_o seed_n to_o partake_v of_o that_o glory_n which_o shall_v immediate_o follow_v and_o come_v upon_o the_o church_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o this_o storm_n shall_v be_v over_o for_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o sharp_a so_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o short_a persecution_n of_o they_o all_o and_o shall_v only_o take_v away_o the_o
