who_o be_v a_o better_a historian_n than_o divine_a in_o opposition_n to_o all_o other_o author_n wherefore_o my_o first_o answer_n be_v that_o this_o imposition_n of_o hand_n which_o morinus_n

substance_n of_o ordination_n but_o place_n the_o whole_a essence_n thereof_o in_o the_o touch_v the_o instrument_n and_o their_o form_n other_o that_o allow_v to_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n a_o
