and_o ridiculous_a and_o they_o never_o betake_v themselves_o as_o the_o catholic_n do_v to_o god_n omnipotency_n to_o maintain_v it_o the_o second_o be_v that_o if_o they_o do_v believe_v a_o real_a transubstantiation_n they_o will_v show_v more_o respect_n than_o they_o do_v to_o that_o mystery_n and_o indeed_o it_o will_v be_v very_o strange_a if_o in_o a_o religion_n so_o precise_a and_o superstitious_a as_o they_o they_o shall_v want_v zeal_n and_o adoration_n at_o a_o time_n wherein_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v most_o eminent_a as_o it_o be_v among_o the_o roman_a catholic_n and_o last_o be_v they_o of_o this_o opinion_n which_o olearius_n imput_v to_o they_o it_o must_v have_v be_v derive_v to_o they_o from_o the_o greek_n from_o who_o they_o receive_v the_o scheme_n of_o their_o religion_n but_o neither_o do_v we_o find_v the_o greek_n under_o so_o great_a a_o blindness_n among_o the_o moscovite_n they_o have_v yearly_o many_o procession_n but_o the_o principal_a

which_o be_v a_o town_n near_o moscow_n they_o tell_v we_o his_o countenance_n be_v as_o fresh_a as_o when_o he_o die_v and_o to_o this_o convent_n the_o tzar_n do_v usual_o go_v in_o pilgrimage_n
