with_o it_o and_o when_o from_o this_o diffusive_a spirit_n of_o charity_n which_o actuate_v all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o true_o catholic_n church_n those_o that_o have_v riches_n and_o live_v at_o

which_o he_o have_v make_v unto_o they_o that_o forsake_v father_n and_o mother_n and_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o land_n and_o country_n nay_o and_o lay_v down_o their_o life_n for_o he_o and_o the_o
