the_o invention_n or_o translation_n of_o the_o prophet_n samuel_n history_n can_v testify_v there_o be_v carry_v from_o jerusalem_n to_o constantinople_n a_o body_n withgreat_a solemnity_n that_o

no_o therefore_o history_n can_v assure_v we_o of_o any_o of_o the_o example_n which_o he_o bring_v against_o our_o position_n and_o the_o truth_n must_v be_v resolve_v either_o into_o probable_a

such_o solution_n be_v fit_a for_o more_o metaphysical_a school_n that_o look_v beyond_o nature_n and_o not_o for_o i_o who_o ought_v to_o say_v no_o more_o than_o i_o can_v understand_v wherefore_o keep_v myself_o to_o aristotle_n and_o saint_n thomas_n i_o must_v declare_v that_o the_o thing_n we_o call_v relic_n be_v not_o the_o very_a body_n of_o the_o saint_n but_o new_a substance_n make_v out_o of_o the_o live_a body_n of_o such_o saint_n as_o much_o different_a substantial_o as_o if_o the_o body_n have_v be_v turn_v into_o ash_n or_o grass_n though_o moral_o keep_v a_o respect_n to_o

in_o the_o tomb_n peradventure_o this_o lesson_n will_v seem_v a_o hard_a one_o to_o he_o but_o let_v he_o study_v well_o how_o in_o aristotle_n and_o saint_n thomas_n way_n there_o be_v but_o one_o
