to_o the_o supplication_n there_o the_o cardinal_n begin_v again_o to_o deal_v as_o touch_v our_o vocation_n affirm_v that_o the_o same_o be_v void_a further_o he_o complain_v that_o we_o reproove_v

22._o mat._n 26._o mark_n 14._o luke_n 22._o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o evangelist_n that_o the_o lord_n take_v bread_n bless_v it_o receive_v because_o the_o scripture_n acknowledge_v bread_n in_o
