of_o so_o great_a a_o charity_n that_o it_o may_v deserve_v the_o concession_n of_o any_o indulgence_n never_o so_o large_a and_o that_o the_o pope_n intend_v never_o to_o give_v any_o large_a

they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o follow_v the_o easy_a part_n let_v the_o truth_n lie_v where_o it_o will_n the_o author_n of_o the_o catholic_n history_n be_v so_o favourable_a to_o this_o
