this_o be_v the_o true_a mother_n and_o original_a of_o schism_n it_o behoove_v every_o good_a christian_a to_o apply_v what_o remedy_n he_o be_v able_a not_o of_o council_n and_o admonition_n only_o because_o so_o obstinate_a be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o ecclesiastic_n they_o will_v soon_o adhere_v to_o their_o own_o wicked_a opinion_n than_o be_v persuade_v by_o the_o best_a advice_n in_o
