he_o do_v plain_o &_o ample_o depaint_v &_o point_v out_o all_o the_o abuse_n impiety_n superstition_n &_o idolatry_n of_o popery_n which_o be_v gather_v into_o their_o form_n of_o abjuration_n so_o

&_o range_v themselves_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o church_n as_o other_o do_v or_o else_o because_o they_o can_v not_o addict_v themselves_o to_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n as_o

&_o yet_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v count_v good_a catholic_n be_v more_o superstitious_a and_o addict_v to_o ceremony_n than_o other_o yet_o so_o it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v very_a

will_v ever_o be_v bring_v to_o a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o their_o offence_n that_o they_o may_v turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n have_v strike_v they_o with_o such_o

before_o they_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o it_o fare_v with_o they_o as_o with_o he_o that_o in_o a_o dark_a night_n come_v to_o put_v out_o a_o candle_n or_o light_n

be_v but_o lose_v labour_n to_o write_v to_o they_o &_o to_o exhort_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v and_o amend_v their_o fault_n wherefore_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o apply_v myself_o to_o they_o in_o this_o my_o writing_n save_v only_o to_o denounce_v against_o they_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrews_n that_o be_v that_o see_v they_o

pleasure_n in_o iniquity_n &_o contrary_a to_o the_o testimony_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n do_v malicious_o resist_v the_o know_v truth_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n

in_o the_o bed_n of_o their_o tender_a &_o delicate_a flesh_n they_o drive_v off_o from_o day_n to_o day_n wait_v for_o some_o golden_a world_n wherein_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n may_v
