which have been taken out of the book,

which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men,

and smitten them by the hand of the Gentiles,

and after the Gentiles do stumble exceedingly,

because of the most plain and precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb

which have been kept back by that abominable church,
