consider_v what_o immediate_o follow_v there_o in_o cyprian_a and_o which_o he_o there_o unlucky_o leave_v out_o he_o may_v have_v clear_o see_v that_o cyprian_n neither_o say_v nor_o mean_v that_o the_o meek_a and_o the_o holy_a jesus_n do_v by_o deed_n or_o word_n exhort_v man_n to_o kill_v heretic_n but_o that_o which_o cyprian_n true_o say_v our_o bless_a saviour_n do_v by_o deed_n and_o
