king_n to_o be_v a_o truth_n which_o god_n please_v to_o reveal_v in_o these_o latter_a time_n for_o the_o turn_a antichrist_n out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o hide_v in_o the_o primitive_a time_n that_o antichrist_n may_v come_v in_o yet_o i_o shall_v not_o now_o quarrel_v with_o it_o because_o it_o be_v possible_a it_o may_v have_v another_o sense_n and_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v any_o thing_n
