that_o have_v be_v in_o that_o church_n since_o the_o last_o re-establish_a of_o the_o order_n but_o that_o i_o have_v observe_v among_o the_o few_o of_o they_o to_o who_o i_o have_v the_o honour_n to_o be_v know_v particular_o as_o great_a and_o as_o exemplary_a thing_n as_o ever_o i_o meet_v with_o in_o all_o ecclesiastical_a history_n not_o only_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o strict_a of_o all_o the_o ancient_a canon_n but_o a_o pitch_n of_o virtue_n and_o piety_n beyond_o what_o can_v fall_v under_o common_a imitation_n or_o be_v make_v the_o measure_n of_o even_o the_o most_o
