this_o main_a principle_n of_o all_o true_a religion_n which_o be_v to_o be_v set_v and_o ingraff_v into_o christ_n as_o a_o branch_n into_o a_o tree_n and_o be_v once_o in_o he_o to_o become_v new_a

of_o god_n in_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n to_o feel_v the_o power_n and_o virtue_n of_o christ_n as_o sensible_o in_o we_o as_o we_o feel_v the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n and_o show_v

which_o show_v his_o absolute_a and_o sovereign_a authority_n he_o have_v the_o key_n of_o david_n and_o he_o have_v it_o absolute_o no_o creature_n be_v above_o he_o but_o he_o can_v shut_v or_o

while_o man_n live_v in_o the_o world_n but_o also_o for_o they_o that_o be_v already_o go_v out_o of_o it_o and_o there_o be_v no_o wine_n so_o sweet_a to_o the_o taste_n of_o a_o carnal_a man_n as_o that_o which_o make_v he_o drink_v with_o opinion_n of_o his_o own_o righteousness_n as_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o strong_a wine_n to_o make_v very_a coward_n think_v themselves_o to_o be_v valiant_a champion_n and_o such_o be_v the_o cup_n of_o popish_a doctrine_n contain_v merit_n and_o satisfaction_n again_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o antichrist_n shall_v make_v man_n drink_v with_o his_o erroneous_a doctrine_n we_o marvel_v less_o how_o man_n can_v be_v so_o blind_v and_o infatuate_a that_o they_o can_v not_o see_v and_o perceive_v such_o gross_a error_n and_o manifest_a

even_o so_o they_o that_o be_v drink_v with_o the_o heretical_a doctrine_n of_o papistry_n do_v grope_v in_o the_o clear_a light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o see_v not_o their_o own_o deformity_n though_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o cry_n out_o of_o they_o in_o like_a manner_n they_o that_o be_v overcome_v with_o the_o unhonest_a love_n of_o harlot_n they_o have_v their_o reason_n so_o imprison_v in_o

with_o those_o that_o the_o babylonical_a circe_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v allure_v by_o her_o inchauntment_n to_o commit_v spiritual_a fornination_n with_o she_o they_o can_v abide_v to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o they_o that_o call_v they_o out_o of_o that_o damnable_a estate_n so_o high_o they_o please_v themselves_o in_o their_o own_o misery_n as_o if_o they_o be_v in_o case_n of_o perfect_a felicity_n this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o drunkenness_n this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o fornication_n and_o this_o be_v the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n that_o they_o which_o have_v shut_v up_o their_o ear_n from_o hear_v the_o truth_n shall_v be_v deceive_v with_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v lie_n furthermore_o by_o the_o name_n of_o these_o vice_n the_o angel_n comprehend_v all_o other_o vice_n that_o follow_v drunkenness_n and_o incontinency_n for_o these_o crime_n go_v not_o unaccompanied_a for_o where_o either_o of_o they_o be_v common_o both_o will_v be_v and_o they_o have_v either_o of_o they_o and_o both_o together_o their_o train_n to_o wait_v upon_o they_o and_o all_o these_o we_o see_v to_o have_v overflow_v in_o rome_n the_o western_a babylon_n as_o she_o herself_o though_o she_o have_v a_o brazen_a forehead_n and_o be_v past_o all_o shame_n can_v deny_v altogether_o and_o because_o of_o these_o so_o great_a and_o heinous_a inormity_n the_o just_a sentence_n of_o god_n pronounce_v here_o by_o the_o angel_n be_v come_v upon_o she_o that_o she_o be_v now_o in_o her_o fall_n and_o decay_n as_o she_o be_v once_o

church_n to_o be_v universal_a behold_v the_o angel_n say_v here_o in_o plain_a word_n that_o all_o nation_n shall_v drink_v of_o the_o wine_n of_o the_o fury_n of_o her_o fornication_n where_o be_v then_o the_o universal_a consent_n and_o unity_n of_o all_o nation_n in_o religion_n that_o make_v a_o true_a religion_n and_o yet_o universality_n and_o unity_n be_v two_o great_a pillar_n of_o the_o

she_o for_o they_o but_o let_v she_o peaceable_o enjoy_v they_o for_o they_o may_v help_v to_o prove_v she_o to_o be_v the_o false_a church_n of_o antichrist_n but_o they_o can_v make_v she_o to_o be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ._n we_o see_v plain_o that_o babylon_n have_v here_o universality_n and_o unity_n for_o she_o make_v all_o nation_n to_o drink_v of_o the_o furious_a wine_n of_o her_o fornication_n but_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o himself_o say_v be_v a_o small_a flock_n and_o himself_o by_o simeon_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o contradiction_n a_o mark_n that_o be_v gainsaid_a of_o most_o man_n and_o here_o also_o be_v answer_v one_o great_a mighty_a objection_n wherewith_o they_o think_v to_o choke_v we_o that_o see_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n
