with_o who_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o confess_v many_o idle_a word_n many_o angry_a expression_n to_o my_o boy_n when_o unruly_a or_o undiligent_a but_o i_o must_v name_v a_o particular_a sin_n or_o i_o can_v not_o be_v absolve_v one_o at_o least_o i_o suppose_v he_o expect_v a_o huge_a matter_n but_o any_o one_o serve_v turn_v and_o then_o the_o business_n may_v be_v do_v i_o can_v not_o

please_v make_v use_n of_o towards_o the_o obtain_n the_o great_a power_n over_o we_o and_o keep_v we_o by_o consequence_n in_o more_o awe_n especial_o when_o i_o also_o consider_v that_o two_o

unless_o they_o can_v confess_v and_o absolve_v themselves_o however_o i_o can_v not_o but_o account_v their_o so_o officiate_a rather_o a_o desecration_n than_o a_o consecration_n to_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o be_v never_o thorough_o satisfy_v in_o the_o point_n of_o liturgy_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n and_o non_fw-fr participation_n of_o the_o cup_n be_v but_o to_o tell_v the_o plain_a truth_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o huddle_v they_o both_o into_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o their_o argument_n go_v the_o easy_a down_n but_o as_o to_o the_o first_o i_o

one_o thing_n i_o can_v ommit_v she_o be_v visit_v with_o the_o violent_a pain_n of_o the_o sciatica_n we_o both_o of_o we_o desire_v the_o priest_n to_o pray_v for_o ease_n of_o her_o pain_n which_o he_o refuse_v with_o this_o uncomfortable_a reply_n that_o she_o must_v bear_v what_o god_n be_v please_v to_o lay_v upon_o she_o i_o can_v not_o but_o think_v counsel_n though_o very_o good_a without_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n very_o uncomfortable_a perhaps_o his_o breviary_n have_v no_o such_o provision_n in_o it_o though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o little_a child_n will_v
