from_o his_o other_o write_n against_o the_o gentile_n where_o he_o resolute_o maintain_v that_o there_o be_v not_o many_o but_o one_o god_n which_o any_o that_o have_v careful_o read_v this_o

that_o the_o true_a eternal_a god_n be_v but_o one_o he_o prove_v from_o their_o own_o poet_n and_o philosopher_n the_o gentile_n be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o scripture_n and_o particular_o cite_v
