communicate_v you_o can_v be_v excuse_v from_o the_o sin_n of_o schism_n at_o least_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n and_o outward_a act_n of_o it_o because_o wherever_o there_o be_v a_o actual_a

and_o the_o searcher_n of_o heart_n who_o know_v whether_o your_o separation_n be_v occasion_v through_o the_o fault_n of_o your_o will_n or_o the_o weakness_n of_o your_o understanding_n whether_o
