therefore_o whosoever_o receive_v a_o sacrament_n when_o he_o be_v actual_o in_o sin_n put_v a_o obstacle_n to_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o can_v then_o receive_v any_o grace_n by_o

therefore_o grace_n and_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o necessary_a cause_n of_o they_o mutual_o exclude_v each_o other_o from_o the_o same_o soul_n yet_o they_o general_o teach_v in_o the_o church_n of_o
