who_o continue_v and_o be_v bury_v in_o the_o place_n after_o call_v glassenbury_n as_o henry_n the_o second_o in_o his_o charter_n after_o the_o recital_n of_o many_o former_a and_o ancient_a

that_o the_o british_a bishop_n with_o who_o the_o remember_v austin_n desire_v further_a conference_n 21._o will_v have_v no_o fellowship_n with_o he_o which_o come_v commend_v from_o gregory_n

those_o then_o in_o use_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n 21._o sure_o in_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o feast_n of_o easter_n as_o the_o fast_o on_o saturday_n they_o follow_v not_o the_o guise_n and_o

have_v no_o fellowship_n with_o austin_n that_o come_v commend_v from_o the_o sea_n of_o rome_n in_o that_o in_o many_o rite_n and_o custom_n the_o christian_n in_o this_o island_n be_v different_a
