humour_n our_o latter_a sectary_n also_o have_v think_v best_a to_o continue_v 23._o but_o if_o we_o go_v to_o more_o ancient_a writer_n such_o i_o mean_v as_o live_v in_o the_o very_a time_n or_o

into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o say_a pope_n leo_n iv._o to_o be_v instruct_v and_o bring_v up_o by_o he_o as_o john_n fox_n also_o relate_v and_o that_o the_o say_a pope_n receive_v he_o with_o
