divine_a charity_n he_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v a_o general_a way_n of_o do_v good_a it_o be_v true_a he_o add_v then_o for_o god_n sake_n but_o he_o allay_v that_o again_o with_o say_v he_o

give_v i_o leave_v to_o observe_v what_o our_o countryman_n roger_n bacon_n do_v long_o ago_o that_o those_o student_n who_o busy_a themselves_o much_o with_o such_o notion_n as_o reside_v whole_o
