on_o who_o decision_n they_o so_o much_o depend_v have_v a_o quite_o different_a notion_n of_o justification_n and_o merit_n that_o council_n after_o some_o month_n debate_n upon_o the_o point_n of_o

both_o in_o temporal_n and_o spiritual_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o he_o can_v dispense_v with_o their_o oath_n and_o promise_n when_o he_o please_v we_o can_v see_v how_o they_o can_v be_v so_o
