suspect_v some_o thing_n lurk_v in_o they_o which_o our_o doctrine_n be_v not_o able_a to_o confute_v from_o the_o first_o year_n wherein_o i_o render_v myself_o to_o be_v a_o clergy_n man_n i_o

they_o make_v i_o professor_n of_o rhetoric_n first_o and_o then_o of_o the_o logic_n and_o philosophy_n in_o the_o public_a school_n of_o brescia_n and_o often_o on_o the_o festuall_a day_n will_v
