who_o can_v endure_v the_o arm_n of_o his_o enemy_n in_o his_o own_o house_n and_o special_o in_o the_o chief_a room_n of_o the_o same_o and_o if_o god_n will_v have_v a_o thing_n destroy_v and_o

of_o the_o papist_n drive_v away_o by_o the_o shine_a brightness_n of_o the_o gospel_n because_o these_o thing_n have_v no_o power_n in_o they_o to_o kindle_v and_o increase_v godliness_n but_o
