i_o say_v the_o witness_n of_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n be_v at_o first_o most_o averse_a to_o the_o belief_n of_o it_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v credulous_a that_o never_o be_v there_o

with_o he_o they_o converse_v with_o he_o and_o that_o not_o once_o or_o twice_o but_o at_o time_n for_o forty_o day_n together_o so_o that_o well_o might_n s._n luke_n say_v that_o he_o show_v
