to_o be_v of_o faith_n what_o not_o though_o i_o think_v they_o all_o agree_v that_o a_o explication_n against_o grammar_n and_o logic_n do_v not_o raise_v a_o position_n into_o a_o article_n of_o

saint_n gregory_n but_o now_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o upon_o full_a consideration_n i_o rather_o believe_v venerable_a bede_n information_n be_v defective_a then_o to_o attribute_v so_o

the_o next_o world_n excommunication_n and_o restore_n to_o communion_n as_o be_v express_v in_o one_o of_o those_o revelation_n do_v you_o think_v that_o one_o who_o die_v obstinate_a in_o schism_n be_v send_v to_o purgatory_n because_o he_o do_v many_o alm_n as_o be_v report_v in_o another_o revelation_n do_v you_o think_v it_o be_v not_o the_o fancy_n of_o a_o idle_a brain_n to_o imagine_v
