in_o the_o old_a church_n alexandro_n even_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o paynim_n final_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o all_o the_o people_n they_o lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o they_o they_o give_v they_o

9_o the_o ignorant_a bishop_n do_v yet_o make_v they_o of_o the_o most_o ignorant_a and_o of_o the_o most_o vicious_a worse_o than_o themselves_o so_o that_o the_o time_n whereof_o the_o prophet_n
