this_o continue_v to_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o near_o 300_o year_n it_o appear_v clear_o in_o the_o renunciation_n which_o they_o make_v berengarius_fw-la swear_v but_o when_o the_o schoolman_n begin_v to_o form_v the_o tenet_n of_o that_o church_n by_o more_o artificial_a and_o subtle_a rule_n as_o they_o think_v it_o a_o ungentle_a way_n of_o treat_v christ_n
