since_o this_o sermon_n speak_v of_o assumption_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o church_n custom_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o virgin_n mary_n be_v on_o the_o day_n of_o that_o solemnity_n assume_v into_o heaven_n but_o all_o this_o be_v but_o to_o raise_v a_o dust_n about_o nothing_o for_o be_v the_o argument_n from_o the_o title_n as_o weak_a as_o you_o can_v desire_v yet_o what_o follow_v in_o my_o postscript_n be_v more_o than_o strong_a enough_o to_o convince_v all_o reasonable_a man_n that_o that_o sermon_n can_v not_o be_v st._n augustine_n i_o next_o

they_o tell_v we_o that_o in_o their_o mss._n it_o want_v the_o name_n of_o any_o author_n but_o that_o the_o divine_n of_o louvain_n tell_v we_o that_o in_o several_a manuscript_n which_o they_o use_v in_o their_o edition_n of_o st._n austin_n this_o sermon_n de_fw-fr sanctis_fw-la be_v entitle_v to_o fulbertus_n carnotensis_n this_o argument_n you_o be_v afraid_a to_o take_v together_o and_o therefore_o without_o say_v a_o word_n to_o the_o benedictine_n manuscript_n which_o name_n no_o author_n for_o that_o sermon_n you_o think_v you_o answer_v the_o louvain_n mss._n about_o its_o be_v entitle_v to_o fulbertus_n by_o say_v st._n ambrose_n and_o chrysologus_n sermon_n have_v appear_v in_o mss._n under_o other_o author_n name_n but_o pray_v sir_n what_o will_v you_o prove_v from_o hence_o because_o such_o a_o thing_n have_v happen_v to_o st._n ambrose_n therefore_o this_o sermon_n must_v be_v st._n augustins_n because_o print_v among_o his_o work_n though_o it_o bear_v not_o his_o name_n either_o in_o the_o mss._n use_v by_o the_o louvain_n divine_v or_o by_o the_o benedictines_n how_o be_v it_o that_o we_o know_v one_o man_n sermon_n be_v from_o another_o be_v it_o not_o either_o from_o his_o style_n or_o from_o its_o be_v attribute_v to_o such_o a_o person_n by_o the_o most_o and_o best_a manuscript_n from_o one_o of_o these_o way_n it_o be_v that_o st._n ambrose_n or_o any_o other_o father_n sermon_n be_v vindicate_v to_o their_o true_a author_n but_o both_o these_o argument_n be_v direct_o against_o this_o sermon_n be_v be_v st._n augustine_n the_o style_n

against_o you_o they_o either_o entitle_v it_o to_o no_o author_n or_o to_o fulbertus_n carnetensis_n though_o my_o argument_n be_v not_o very_o weighty_a yet_o what_o i_o next_o urge_v i_o think_v

after_o his_o time_n who_o live_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o seven_o century_n what_o i_o say_v be_v certain_a here_o you_o tell_v his_o lordship_n be_v unprobable_a you_o give_v this_o as_o one_o

have_v live_v before_o gregory_n and_o consequent_o long_a before_o fulbertus_n or_o isidore_n of_o sevil._n but_o i_o do_v not_o see_v this_o consequence_n it_o be_v no_o error_n to_o suppose_v the_o author_n of_o that_o sermon_n have_v never_o see_v gregory_n of_o tours_n book_n and_o therefore_o may_v have_v that_o expression_n concern_v no_o latin_a author_n treat_v of_o the_o virgin_n
