the_o cocolarie_n of_o this_o be_v that_o if_o the_o book_n of_o exorcisation_n or_o conjure_v of_o holy_a water_n which_o be_v sprinkle_v in_o the_o church_n be_v altogether_o faithful_a and_o true_a

principal_a cause_n of_o any_o special_a prayer_n the_o which_o be_v not_o far_o different_a from_o sunonie_n the_o other_o reason_n be_v that_o every_o special_a prayer_n make_v for_o man_n condemn_v
