by that great and abominable church,
which was founded by the devil and his children,
that he might lead away the souls of men down to hell —

shall be filled by those who digged it,

or unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts
and the blindness of their minds
unto their being brought down into captivity,
and also into destruction, both temporally and spiritually,
according to the captivity of the devil, of which I have spoken.
