all_o who_o defend_v it_o say_v you_o that_o a_o dead_a man_n may_v not_o noviter_fw-la be_v condemn_v in_o say_v so_o you_o condemn_v the_o holy_a council_n at_o sardica_n of_o constantinople_n of_o

the_o dead_a even_o in_o say_v so_o you_o do_v noviter_fw-la condemn_v all_o those_o father_n be_v now_o dead_a and_o so_o you_o do_v that_o same_o thing_n which_o you_o say_v must_v not_o be_v do_v
