who_o do_v not_o likewise_o hold_v the_o conclusion_n viz._n that_o the_o soul_n be_v mortal_a with_o what_o face_n dare_v you_o venture_v to_o assert_v it_o since_o tertullian_n and_o many_o other_o

in_o the_o primitive_a christian_n to_o have_v avoid_v the_o communion_n of_o tertullian_n or_o s._n hilary_n upon_o protence_n that_o from_o their_o opinion_n touch_v the_o original_n of_o the_o
