most_o corrupt_a either_o in_o manner_n or_o withstand_v the_o true_a prophet_n yet_o they_o remain_v still_o the_o church_n and_o the_o service_n and_o worship_n in_o the_o temple_n be_v not_o to_o

that_o be_v a_o heretic_n for_o if_o any_o do_v depart_v from_o worship_v in_o the_o temple_n he_o be_v not_o a_o apostate_n for_o depart_v from_o wicked_a priest_n but_o for_o refuse_v that_o which_o
