even_o as_o saint_n john_n write_v that_o there_o be_v already_o many_o begin_v to_o be_v antichristes_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o as_o yet_o antichrist_n be_v not_o full_o reveal_v to_o who_o

may_v the_o more_o appear_v and_o be_v more_o plain_o convince_v therefore_o this_o impediment_n let_v and_o delay_n whereof_o paul_n speak_v be_v to_o be_v make_v until_o the_o gospel_n have_v end_v

until_o which_o time_n antichrist_n shall_v reign_v by_o god_n permission_n paul_n teach_v that_o antichrist_n have_v at_o no_o time_n cease_v but_o have_v always_o labour_v to_o entangle_v and_o
