shall_v therefore_o take_v care_n frequent_o to_o instruct_v all_o their_o people_n but_o especial_o the_o daia_n in_o the_o form_n of_o baptism_n that_o so_o every_o body_n may_v know_v how_o to_o

the_o synod_n in_o virtue_n of_o obedience_n and_o upon_o pain_n of_o excommunication_n to_o be_v ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la incur_v do_v command_v that_o no_o christian_a presume_v to_o sell_v any_o of_o

and_o to_o other_o curate_n and_o the_o whole_a people_n that_o it_o can_v be_v do_v in_o which_o case_n he_o shall_v not_o be_v absolve_v until_o by_o way_n of_o penance_n he_o have_v refund_v the_o
