of_o man_n since_o it_o be_v uphold_v and_o maintain_v chief_o by_o wicked_a and_o unlawful_a mean_n since_o the_o proper_a substance_n and_o matter_n thereof_o be_v not_o only_o diverse_a from_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n but_o also_o direct_o contrary_a thereunto_o since_o the_o form_n of_o god_n worship_n in_o popery_n be_v not_o that_o which_o god_n have_v prescribe_v but_o that_o which_o man_n have_v devise_v and_o forge_v since_o the_o principal_a end_n of_o popery_n whereunto_o it_o refer_v all_o thing_n be_v not_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o the_o glory_n of_o saint_n of_o image_n of_o pope_n and_o general_o of_o man_n himself_o since_o the_o fruit_n of_o popery_n be_v such_o as_o god_n have_v express_o condemn_v in_o the_o decalogue_n and_o ten_o commandment_n

church_n whilst_o it_o swerve_v not_o from_o the_o pure_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n deliver_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n be_v at_o a_o ebb_n and_o dead_a low_a water_n when_o popery_n be_v full_a sea_n since_o god_n have_v inflict_v from_o time_n to_o time_n manifest_a and_o strange_a judgement_n and_o punishment_n upon_o papist_n and_o such_o especial_o as_o have_v most_o malign_v our_o religion_n and_o the_o professor_n thereof_o since_o god_n have_v not_o regard_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o popish_a church_n neither_o have_v make_v their_o curse_n effectual_a against_o they_o who_o they_o have_v curse_v neither_o have_v give_v any_o good_a success_n to_o they_o for_o who_o they_o have_v make_v many_o prayer_n but_o have_v turn_v his_o curse_n into_o blessing_n &_o his_o blessing_n into_o curse_n therefore_o i_o do_v conclude_v that_o popery_n be_v not_o of_o god_n neither_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n again_o since_o our_o religion_n be_v wrought_v
