what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o when_o a_o woman_n say_v unto_o christ_n 11.27_o luk._n 11.27_o blessed_n be_v the_o womb_n that_o bear_v thou_o and_o the_o pap_n which_o thou_o have_v suck_v i_o

again_o why_o do_v he_o say_v so_o if_o it_o be_v better_a for_o people_n not_o to_o hear_v then_o to_o hear_v god_n word_n by_o the_o way_n be_v it_o remember_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n say_v it_o be_v a_o blessedness_n to_o hear_v god_n word_n and_o the_o pope_n who_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v the_o deputy_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o say_v it_o be_v not_o a_o blessedness_n he_o

shall_v then_o be_v despise_v as_o sure_o as_o the_o lord_n god_n live_v i_o take_v this_o to_o be_v the_o main_a cause_n a_o great_a number_n of_o thing_n in_o that_o religion_n can_v by_o no_o
