the_o manichee_n will_v have_v go_v undiscovered_a hence_o i_o can_v not_o but_o conclude_v that_o leo_n and_o all_o orthodox_n believer_n of_o his_o time_n be_v of_o the_o same_o judgement_n in_o this_o point_n with_o the_o reform_a church_n of_o england_n since_o that_o reverend_a bishop_n look_v upon_o receive_v the_o cup_n as_o a_o certain_a sign_n of_o a_o orthodox_n and_o true_a
