of_o christ_n who_o he_o 27_o so_o often_o call_v hypocrite_n and_o these_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o the_o hypocrite_n of_o our_o age_n that_o seem_v to_o live_v after_o the_o straight_a sect_n of_o

the_o papist_n at_o this_o day_n do_v use_v to_o call_v the_o most_o sincere_a professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n not_o lutheran_n caluinist_n zwinglians_n or_o protestant_n as_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o
