the_o considerer_n give_v more_o instance_n of_o the_o parallel_n but_o i_o remember_v what_o the_o vindicator_n answer_v to_o the_o considerer_n press_v luther_n prefer_v turcism_n to_o

of_o a_o proof_n that_o they_o be_v indeed_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o christ_n he_o refer_v we_o to_o a_o testy_a say_n of_o scaliger_n that_o have_v nothing_o of_o truth_n in_o it_o but_o the_o
