of_o rome_n as_o what_o it_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o this_o be_v rather_o a_o admonition_n than_o a_o commendation_n and_o with_o a_o praise_n give_v warning_n of_o duty_n wherefore_o you_o shall_v

because_o vincentius_n do_v restrain_v the_o prophetical_a and_o apostolical_a line_n to_o the_o cannon_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o he_o confess_v to_o be_v more_o than_o sufficient_a for_o
