for_o see_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n be_v in_o truth_n a_o very_a depravation_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n but_o yet_o a_o imitation_n of_o the_o same_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o as_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v upheald_v by_o these_o two_o thing_n especial_o to_o wit_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n as_o paul_n witness_v 1._o thess_n 1.5_o so_o the_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n have_v to_o oppose_v other_o two_o thing_n namely_o his_o error_n against_o sound_a doctrine_n and_o his_o miracle_n or_o work_n of_o satan_n against_o the_o miracle_n and_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n that_o he_o may_v cast_v a_o mist_n before_o man_n eye_n and_o handle_v the_o matter_n so_o as_o he_o may_v be_v take_v

which_o two_o point_n have_v indeed_o lusty_o enlarge_v the_o state_n of_o popery_n and_o withal_o they_o do_v very_o lively_a point_n and_o paint_v out_o the_o same_o unto_o us._n for_o what_o be_v more_o common_a or_o usual_a among_o they_o than_o this_o vaunt_a of_o infinite_a miracle_n and_o what_o one_o thing_n do_v they_o more_o earnest_o urge_v and_o seek_v for_o at_o our_o hand_n assure_o the_o turk_n and_o follower_n of_o mahumet_n rise_v at_o first_o by_o hatch_n a_o new_a kind_n of_o wicked_a doctrine_n but_o as_o for_o miracle_n they_o neither_o boast_v that_o themselves_o do_v ever_o perform_v they_o neither_o do_v they_o require_v such_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o other_o but_o as_o for_o the_o papist_n they_o repose_v the_o top_n and_o toe_n the_o but_o and_o mark_v and_o
