they_o go_v about_o either_o to_o make_v christ_n inferior_a to_o john_n or_o to_o make_v he_o bind_v to_o john_n because_o he_o receive_v honour_n of_o he_o for_o they_o account_v that_o as_o a_o

29_o the_o next_o day_n it_o be_v without_o all_o doubt_n that_o john_n have_v speak_v before_o of_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o messiah_n but_o when_o christ_n be_v come_v he_o will_v that_o his_o

some_o there_o be_v who_o think_v that_o the_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o damnation_n be_v only_o set_v down_o in_o this_o place_n but_o christ_n his_o intent_n and_o purpose_n be_v to_o tame_v the_o

how_o so_o ever_o they_o appear_v to_o be_v more_o holy_a than_o angel_n it_o be_v questionless_a that_o they_o be_v hypocrite_n because_o they_o refuse_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n for_o no_o

to_o receive_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n 20_o for_o whosoever_o do_v evil_a his_o meaning_n be_v that_o they_o do_v hate_v the_o light_n for_o this_o cause_n because_o they_o be_v evil_a
