i_o can_v but_o hope_v that_o what_o i_o have_v yet_o to_o say_v in_o the_o person_n of_o this_o dead_a prelate_n will_v have_v so_o much_o influence_n upon_o you_o all_o especial_o of_o the_o laity_n

sermon_n which_o now_o i_o be_o to_o deliver_v etc._n i_o speak_v not_o without_o my_o warrant_n for_o when_o st._n gregory_n preach_v his_o forty_o sermon_n upon_o the_o gospel_n he_o pen_v they_o

as_o to_o the_o form_n and_o manner_n of_o it_o and_o when_o it_o be_v fit_v exact_o according_a to_o his_o own_o thought_n and_o desire_n he_o solemn_o publish_v sign_v and_o seal_v it_o in_o the_o

1._o in_o the_o first_o age_n 318._o of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v a_o very_a excellent_a custom_n that_o whensoever_o any_o be_v consecrate_a bishop_n of_o any_o patriarchal_a or_o chief_a see_v he_o shall_v by_o a_o encyclical_a epistle_n give_v a_o account_n of_o his_o faith_n to_o his_o brethren_n of_o the_o same_o order_n and_o dignity_n for_o the_o better_a strengthen_v of_o that_o catholic_n
