do_v seem_v to_o be_v regulate_v or_o to_o be_v mensurate_v by_o it_o since_o therefore_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o conscience_n be_v two_o fold_n one_o next_o or_o the_o immediate_a and_o the_o other_o

for_o the_o conscience_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v upright_o either_o absolute_o and_o simple_o or_o respective_o and_o secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la as_o the_o schoolman_n do_v express_v it_o in_o
