i_o be_o sure_a we_o meet_v with_o no_o music_n the_o second_o place_n where_o i_o find_v the_o consecrate_a host_n much_o abuse_v be_v in_o a_o little_a church_n near_o to_o ancona_n in_o a_o very_a

that_o which_o i_o then_o believe_v to_o be_v the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n other_o have_v find_v the_o host_n full_a of_o worm_n and_o in_o other_o place_n the_o rat_n have_v eat_v they_o up_o whole_a the_o divine_n at_o rome_n admit_v for_o the_o most_o part_n as_o many_o miracle_n in_o these_o kind_n of_o corruption_n as_o they_o do_v in_o transubstantiation_n for_o after_o the_o same_o

be_v a_o eye-witness_n of_o many_o other_o considerable_a accident_n that_o have_v happen_v to_o their_o holy_a sacrament_n it_o frequent_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o priest_n whilst_o they_o be_v
