one_o of_o her_o master_n i_o doubt_v not_o if_o you_o attentive_o consider_v your_o eminent_a scholar_n you_o will_v find_v many_o of_o they_o speak_v indeed_o glorious_o of_o council_n but_o

the_o meaning_n of_o tradition_n which_o be_v no_o hide_a thing_n but_o the_o public_a and_o settle_a belief_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v impossible_a a_o pope_n or_o

come_v soon_o to_o beatitude_n other_o late_a the_o greek_n after_o they_o have_v see_v the_o latin_n confession_n quite_o leave_v out_o that_o point_n and_o this_o upon_o the_o fourteen_o day_n of_o

they_o as_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v among_o the_o latin_n my_o three_o note_n be_v that_o the_o greek_n express_v the_o punishment_n of_o purgatory_n to_o consist_v in_o grief_n to_o wit_n for_o their_o
