in_o popery_n one_o be_v that_o i_o be_v oblige_v by_o their_o tyrannous_a law_n to_o reject_v and_o cast_v away_o any_o doubt_n that_o come_v unto_o my_o mind_n against_o the_o romish_a profession_n

see_v their_o church_n can_v not_o as_o they_o allege_v err_v that_o the_o resolution_n of_o the_o church_n be_v only_o true_a and_o god_n true_a light_n inspire_v in_o they_o but_o only_a tentation_n of_o satan_n and_o so_o preoccupy_v with_o a_o prejudged_a mind_n continue_v in_o their_o error_n this_o be_v the_o secondwall_n of_o that_o babylonish_a tower_n i_o speak_v nothing_o of_o riches_n
