crime_n and_o as_o old_a story_n tell_v of_o that_o monster_n of_o a_o hydra_n hydra_n serpent_n who_o increase_v by_o be_v wound_v so_o in_o this_o most_o famous_a city_n of_o gaul_n their_o

which_o have_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o their_o utter_a perdition_n i_o see_v there_o many_o lamentable_a sight_n no_o manner_n of_o difference_n between_o boy_n and_o old_a man_n the_o same_o

that_o they_o never_o fear_v the_o danger_n they_o be_v sensible_a beforehand_o of_o their_o captivity_n and_o yet_o never_o dread_v it_o the_o apprehension_n of_o danger_n be_v take_v from_o they_o lest_o they_o shall_v fence_v against_o it_o so_o that_o when_o the_o barbarian_n be_v even_o in_o sight_n the_o people_n have_v not_o fear_v upon_o they_o nor_o ever_o guard_v the_o city_n so_o great_a be_v the_o blindness_n of_o their_o mind_n or_o rather_o of_o their_o sin_n that_o when_o it_o be_v certain_a not_o one_o of_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o die_v yet_o not_o one_o of_o they_o

of_o all_o the_o roman_n in_o general_n soon_o too_o perish_v than_o be_v reform_v and_o rather_o to_o leave_v off_o be_v than_o not_o be_v in_o their_o sin_n that_o may_v easy_o be_v see_v in_o the_o
