that_o the_o seven_o star_n be_v find_v fix_v in_o seven_o not_o one_o over_o divers_a church_n this_o i_o conceive_v not_o to_o be_v of_o any_o force_n for_o it_o be_v by_o we_o grant_v and_o

the_o affirm_v william_n laud_n to_o be_v constitute_v bishop_n of_o canterbury_n be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o affirm_v he_o archbishop_n 3._o thus_o when_o 1._o chrysostome_n say_v of_o titus_n that_o
