Here behold now and see, all these particulars set forth to the open view of every man's eye; let us, which have happily escaped, and those that are yet among them, which in honest simplicity of heart mistake things, learn hereby to discern between Christ and Antichrist, the true Spouse, and the filthy Whore; the faithful servants of Christ and the devilish instruments of Antichrist; between true Christians in name and deed, and Christians only in name, but Antichristians in deed; so shall we still-stand in the way of life, and they (poor souls) escape the snares of death; even so Lord Jesus, Amen.
