few_o of_o the_o province_n of_o tripoli_n and_o byzacene_n the_o maximinianist_n be_v come_v unto_o it_o if_o only_o among_o the_o easterling_n we_o must_v seek_v for_o the_o church_n among_o the_o arrian_n macedonian_n and_o eunomian_o and_o other_o if_o there_o be_v any_o more_o there_o for_o who_o be_v able_a to_o recount_v the_o several_a heresy_n of_o every_o nation_n but_o if_o the_o

who_o say_v loe_o here_o be_v christ_n lo_o there_o be_v christ_n let_v we_o rather_o hear_v if_o we_o be_v his_o sheep_n the_o voice_n of_o our_o shepherd_n say_v believe_v they_o not_o for_o those_o
