That termination of en, as in deluden, salubren, seems to me the sign of the present tense of the plural form of the verb.
And then the Priest should enquire, before the childe be dieped in the Fonte, whether it haue renounced Sathan and all his pompe and pride.

That town which thousands of enemys without hath not been able to take, hath been delivered up by one traytor within; and that man, which all the temptations of Sathan without could not hurt, hath been foild by one lust within. Authority without wisdome is like a heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish.
