her_o majesty_n or_o the_o state_n i_o think_v she_o have_v little_a cause_n to_o thank_v you_o for_o your_o wisdom_n in_o seek_v the_o quietness_n of_o this_o commonwealth_n by-winking_a at_o the_o

but_o the_o beast_n i_o fear_v be_v bear_v to_o no_o other_o end_n then_o to_o be_v the_o lord_n scourge_n to_o chastise_v his_o church_n and_o then_o to_o be_v burn_v in_o hell_n and_o out_o upon_o they_o they_o be_v as_o unlike_o christ_n his_o apostle_n and_o holy_a martyr_n which_o be_v the_o planter_n of_o our_o church_n as_o the_o wretch_n be_v like_a unto_o themselves_o a_o man_n will_v

do_v they_o manifest_v themselves_o as_o if_o they_o will_v declare_v unto_o the_o world_n that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v make_v know_v unto_o posterity_n but_o upon_o the_o condition_n that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o most_o wicked_a that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n they_o will_v be_v so_o many_o judase_n so_o many_o diotrephese_n so_o many_o simon_n maguse_n as_o now_o they_o be_v
