the_o lamblike_a state_n of_o christianity_n a_o long_a while_n after_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o protestant_n may_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o fall_v prophet_n be_v entangle_v

another_o spirit_n then_o as_o yet_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o great_a part_n of_o our_o professor_n to_o unite_v we_o in_o his_o way_n and_o to_o guide_v we_o in_o this_o warfare_n we_o shall_v be_v

be_v upright_o in_o heart_n rank_v themselves_o under_o it_o and_o make_v use_v of_o the_o weapon_n of_o righteousness_n and_o the_o armour_n of_o salvation_n for_o the_o end_n for_o which_o christ_n

the_o spirit_n of_o man_n than_o now_o be_v upon_o their_o outward_a estate_n god_n have_v hitherto_o be_v shake_v the_o earth_n to_o some_o purpose_n but_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o will_v also_o
