even_o the_o bishop_n himself_o can_v ever_o give_v entertainment_n to_o it_o it_o be_v a_o very_a surprise_v thing_n to_o see_v the_o bishop_n maintain_v in_o his_o new_a commentary_n upon_o the_o

of_o the_o inquisitor_n and_o that_o they_o never_o pretend_v to_o any_o thing_n less_o than_o to_o faithfulness_n in_o their_o account_n of_o thing_n this_o appear_v from_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o

very_o far_o from_o be_v manichee_n what_o authority_n therefore_o can_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o inquisitor_n have_v against_o the_o albigenses_n since_o the_o bishop_n himself_o acknowledge_v that_o they_o can_v be_v of_o no_o authority_n against_o the_o waldenses_n who_o have_v be_v no_o less_o accuse_v of_o manicheism_n than_o the_o albigenses_n themselves_o now_o that_o the_o reader_n
