ground_n be_v only_o that_o inbred_a enmity_n and_o it_o opposition_n that_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n against_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n though_o no_o good_a reason_n at_o all_o can_v be_v give_v why_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o yet_o non_fw-la cause_n amote_a nec_fw-la possum_fw-la dicere_fw-la quare_fw-la they_o do_v not_o love_v they_o they_o hate_v they_o they_o must_v endeavour_v to_o destroy_v they_o there_o be_v a_o enmity_n against_o they_o but_o yet_o because_o no_o hatred_n find_v among_o rational_a creature_n be_v without_o at_o least_o some_o pretence_n of_o reason_n know_v you_o that_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o hatred_n be_v ground_v upon_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o terrible_a plague_n and_o 1._o vexation_n to_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n i_o say_v there_o be_v not_o such_o a_o plague_n to_o all_o the_o people_n of_o the_o world_n as_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v and_o as_o god_n people_n be_v because_o the_o law_n and_o rule_n by_o which_o they_o walk_v do_v threaten_v nothing_o but_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n to_o all_o those_o that_o walk_v in_o other_o way_n other_o people_n in_o the_o several_a way_n they_o walk_v in_o if_o you_o let_v they_o alone_o in_o their_o way_n they_o will_v allow_v you_o to_o promise_v yourself_o what_o you_o will_v in_o your_o way_n their_o religion_n and_o course_n be_v good_a fellow_n one_o to_o another_o they_o can_v bear_v with_o they_o in_o their_o principle_n but_o the_o people_n of_o god_n do_v hold_v out_o that_o which_o must_v be_v the_o only_a rule_n and_o they_o tell_v all_o the_o world_n that_o if_o they_o walk_v not_o according_a to_o their_o rule_n only_o they_o will_v be_v damn_v and_o destroy_v eternal_o and_o so_o they_o vex_v they_o and_o therefore_o one_o note_n well_o that_o when_o tiberius_n the_o emperor_n of_o rome_n have_v hear_v of_o the_o miracle_n of_o christ_n do_v propound_v to_o the_o senate_n of_o rome_n that_o christ_n may_v be_v worship_v as_o a_o god_n as_o well_o as_o their_o other_o god_n be_v the_o senate_n upon_o serious_a consultation_n reject_v it_o because_o they_o say_v if_o they_o entertain_v he_o they_o must_v cast_v out_o all_o the_o rest_n he_o will_v suffer_v none_o to_o be_v god_n but_o himself_o and_o therefore_o in_o stead_n of_o own_v he_o to_o be_v one_o of_o they_o they_o persecute_v he_o and_o own_v all_o the_o rest_n so_o it_o be_v the_o two_o witness_n you_o read_v of_o revel._n 11._o vex_v all_o the_o man_n that_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n by_o their_o prophecy_n all_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n by_o their_o rule_n their_o faith_n their_o life_n their_o worship_n etc._n etc._n throw_z fire_n and_o brimstone_n in_o the_o face_n of_o other_o and_o therefore_o no_o wonder_n though_o they_o be_v so_o bitter_o hate_v and_o oppose_v again_o another_o ground_n be_v that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n express_v he_o have_v choose_v his_o 2._o people_n out_o of_o the_o world_n as_o out_o of_o a_o base_a vile_a and_o unclean_a 14._o company_n and_o upon_o his_o thus_o choose_v and_o call_v they_o in_o their_o whole_a conversation_n and_o garb_n do_v leave_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n as_o unclean_a vile_a and_o base_a and_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o so_o odious_a to_o a_o people_n as_o to_o be_v so_o leave_v if_o there_o be_v some_o among_o ourselves_o who_o whole_a work_n and_o endeavour_n shall_v be_v to_o leave_v england_n and_o carry_v away_o all_o that_o they_o have_v out_o
