flight_v any_o where_o but_o in_o god_n then_o may_v we_o use_v some_o other_o way_n to_o resist_v he_o beside_o faith_n we_o be_v to_o resist_v he_o by_o prayer_n will_v some_o say_v that_o be_v

that_o this_o thing_n may_v be_v more_o evident_a we_o be_v to_o see_v how_o many_o way_n the_o devil_n seek_v to_o devour_v us._n i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o we_o shall_v in_o particular_n see_v

bring_v forth_o such_o fruit_n satan_n do_v practice_v this_o while_n the_o holy_a apostle_n be_v alive_a upon_o the_o earth_n as_o we_o read_v how_o the_o false_a apostle_n do_v seek_v almost_o

what_o a_o gospel_n be_v this_o which_o have_v bring_v forth_o so_o foul_a and_o monstrous_a opinion_n thus_o cunning_o do_v satan_n work_v to_o keep_v many_o still_o in_o their_o former_a blindness_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n in_o these_o day_n when_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n again_o break_v forth_o he_o raise_v up_o horrible_a heresy_n and_o sect_n and_o then_o set_v his_o servant_n a_o

that_o profess_v it_o this_o have_v be_v his_o ancient_a practice_n christ_n be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o devil_n to_o be_v a_o raiser_n of_o sedition_n and_o a_o enemy_n to_o cesar_n his_o apostle_n

that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o pure_a and_o heavenly_a light_n even_o the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n as_o s._n paul_n say_v to_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v rom._n 1._o and_o that_o these_o sect_n and_o heresy_n and_o trouble_n that_o follow_v it_o be_v raise_v up_o by_o the_o devil_n himself_o even_o of_o

even_o straight_o look_v over_o these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n if_o he_o have_v any_o sight_n at_o all_o he_o must_v needs_o confess_v all_o this_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o clear_a that_o we_o

that_o all_o true_a godly_a man_n and_o faithful_a christian_n have_v this_o knowledge_n in_o themselves_o but_o let_v we_o give_v ear_n to_o the_o apostle_n who_o tell_v we_o how_o we_o shall_v

and_o therefore_o regard_v not_o his_o word_n though_o with_o full_a mouth_n they_o call_v christ_n their_o king_n and_o their_o lord_n yet_o when_o god_n say_v here_o by_o his_o apostle_n that_o
