only_o for_o any_o consider_a man_n to_o build_v upon_o as_o to_o the_o boast_n of_o their_o number_n it_o be_v well_o know_v there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o the_o christian_a world_n be_v arian_n that_o be_v vnitarian_n so_o that_o the_o council_n of_o ariminum_n and_o seleucia_n in_o which_o 560_o bishop_n be_v present_a the_o great_a convention_n of_o bishop_n that_o ever_o be_v decree_v
