But according as it was fôrseen fôrtold by the Spirit of Christ in the Holy Apostels a faling away Apostacy from the tru Christian faith lyf should com that the most spreding manifestation of the most Excelent glory day of the Lord the most universal gathering into him was not to com except ther cam ' first a faling away the Man of sin revealed and Holy Paul in his Advys to the over seers of the flok told them that after his departur greevos wolvs would enter in amongst them not sparing the flok that from among themselvs should men arys speaking pervers things to draw Discypels after them further said that the Mistery of Iniquity did then already begin to work John in his Epistel advyseth them to whom he wrot to try the Spirits not to beleev every Spirit becaus many fals Profets wer then gon out into the World The â—ôp confesseth that the Christ cam in that on body of flesh saying that every Spirit that confesseth not that Iesus Christ is com into the flesh is not of God that was the Spirit of Antichrist of which they had heard that it should com said then that it was already com into the VVorld that they went out from Among themselvs And so it was that the seed of the Serpent having found Plâs in som beguyling them as of old he did Eva drawing their mynds from the simplicity of the Spirit of Christ in them leading them out into the World Inclyning their hearts after outward visibel things it ceased not working even in a mystery of
