ask_v when_o this_o number_n do_v begin_v i_o say_v even_o then_o when_o rome_n decline_v first_o from_o her_o height_n of_o pride_n which_o be_v when_o jesus_n christ_n be_v crucify_v for_o at_o

that_o truth_n and_o error_n may_v here_o for_o a_o space_n make_v trial_n of_o their_o strength_n and_o that_o each_o grace_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o saint_n by_o exercise_n improve_v may_v be_v
