you_o oppose_v amb._n &_o aug._n i_o can_v oppose_v 5._o ignatius_n and_o tertullian_n whereof_o the_o one_o say_v it_o be_v nefas_fw-la a_o detestable_a thing_n to_o fast_o upon_o the_o lord_n day_n

of_o the_o apostle_n it_o may_v appear_v by_o that_o which_o he_o write_v say_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o the_o whole_a church_n hold_v and_o therefore_o be_v well_o believe_v to_o be_v

this_o and_o do_v you_o not_o perceive_v how_o you_o still_o reason_n against_o yourself_o for_o if_o the_o church_n have_v have_v so_o great_a regard_n to_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v in_o

with_o idleness_n and_o in_o the_o place_n of_o his_o institution_n he_o declare_v himself_o yet_o more_o plain_o when_o he_o say_v that_o those_o odd_a holy_a day_n than_o be_v without_o
