c._n 30._o since_o therefore_o the_o pope_n be_v true_o that_o man_n of_o sin_n who_o appear_v in_o his_o superlative_a power_n upon_o the_o declination_n of_o the_o roman_a emperor_n for_o thence_o

12._o mark_v now_o this_o passage_n well_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o first_o beast_n viz._n the_o roman_a empire_n in_o the_o civil_a state_n be_v now_o take_v out_o of_o the_o way_n how_o do_v

of_o our_o desire_n so_o we_o read_v ezek._n 16.37.39_o etc._n etc._n that_o whereas_o the_o jew_n commit_v spiritual_a fornication_n with_o the_o idol_n of_o egypt_n and_o assyria_n and_o reappose_v
