for_o reverence_n gravity_n &_o sanctity_n with_o the_o mass_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o saint_n adorn_v this_o sacrifice_n with_o so_o many_o choice_n &_o exquisite_a epiphet_n and_o

all_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o ancient_o be_v offer_v for_o in_o this_o only_a sacrifice_n with_o great_a advantage_n and_o excellency_n concur_v the_o former_a four_o reason_n and_o title_n &_o
