the_o maccabee_n but_o both_o affirm_v that_o the_o desolation_n of_o the_o temple_n last_v only_o three_o year_n and_o by_o their_o authority_n he_o manifest_o convince_v that_o daniel_n can_v be_v

in_o the_o former_a chapter_n and_o this_o be_v all_o he_o have_v to_o say_v about_o the_o place_n of_o daniel_n only_o he_o repeat_v a_o objection_n which_o bellarmine_n make_v to_o himself_o that_o
