at_o their_o pleasure_n not_o so_o for_o beside_o the_o constitution_n of_o some_o ancient_a counsel_n both_o the_o edict_n of_o christian_n prince_n have_v every_o where_o restrain_v that_o

the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v command_v all_o christian_n to_o hear_v the_o church_n and_o that_o under_o forfeiture_n of_o communion_n of_o saint_n but_o they_o that_o despise_v the_o canon_n of_o

for_o such_o manner_n of_o work_n and_o second_o they_o purpose_v to_o forbid_v the_o master_n command_v or_o allow_v of_o work_n and_o not_o the_o servant_n obey_v if_o he_o be_v command_v for_o
