a_o thing_n in_o which_o every_o ordinary_a man_n woman_n or_o child_n that_o hear_v he_o can_v so_o easy_o have_v confute_v he_o as_o they_o may_v have_v do_v if_o the_o twelve_o patriarch_n have_v

to_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v bury_v with_o his_o bone_n in_o sichem_n as_o 1._o there_o be_v no_o reason_n they_o shall_v be_v sever_v in_o the_o burial_n who_o have_v be_v unite_v in_o their_o
