which_o make_v we_o bless_v these_o thing_n well_o consider_v it_o may_v appear_v that_o as_o christ_n be_v the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n not_o only_o because_o he_o be_v very_a god_n though_o in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o servant_n but_o also_o because_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n viz._n the_o gospel_n teach_v a_o mystical_a righteousteousnes_n so_o the_o pope_n be_v antichrist_n not_o only_o because_o he_o be_v a_o adversary_n in_o exalt_v himself_o above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n though_o he_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o servant_n but_o also_o because_o his_o
