to_o hide_v or_o keep_v in_o secret_a as_o if_o the_o messalian_a sacrificer_n receive_v from_o the_o ancient_a idolatrous_a greek_n to_o mumble_v secret_o the_o principal_a word_n of_o their_o mass_n

nor_o they_o that_o look_v on_o understand_v nevertheless_o neither_o the_o hebrew_n nor_o greek_a word_n can_v proper_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o missal_n sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v repair_v to_o the_o true_a etymology_n of_o the_o word_n missa_fw-la roman_n or_o mess_n draw_v from_o the_o ancient_a latin_a roman_n who_o use_v these_o word_n missus_fw-la missa_fw-la missilis_n and_o missio_fw-la even_o as_o in_o french_a we_o have_v messager_n message_n and_o messives_n for_o letter_n send_v wherefore_o when_o the_o ancient_a roman_a idolater_n mean_v to_o dismiss_v the_o
