altogether_o that_o the_o recompense_n of_o one_o fault_n with_o another_o be_v to_o be_v suffer_v in_o his_o judgement_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o yield_v his_o daughter_n to_o the_o

and_o earth_n shall_v go_v together_o and_o a_o undoubted_a shipwreck_n do_v follow_v augustine_n in_o his_o 18_o book_n de_fw-fr civitate_fw-la dei_fw-la the_o nine_o chapter_n when_o he_o have_v

and_o this_o be_v not_o to_o divide_v christ_n for_o we_o embrace_v he_o most_o true_o to_o be_v one_o but_o when_o we_o attribute_v unto_o he_o diverse_a thing_n we_o do_v consider_v the_o reason_n
