may_v very_o well_o be_v take_v literal_o in_o as_o much_o as_o babylon_n rome_n merchant_n her_o idolatrous_a priest_n and_o false_a teacher_n do_v make_v a_o spiritual_a merchandise_n of_o they_o now_o put_v these_o together_o and_o here_o you_o may_v see_v how_o many_o of_o these_o divers_a and_o strange_a doctrine_n come_v to_o be_v conceive_v breed_v and_o bring_v forth_o and_o be_v thus_o

this_o i_o may_v again_o reflect_v resolution_n upon_o some_o of_o those_o general_n which_o i_o make_v use_v of_o before_o 1._o this_o come_v to_o pass_v not_o without_o judgement_n a_o special_a
