notwithstanding_o she_o must_v not_o be_v want_v to_o converse_v with_o secular_a person_n when_o necessity_n or_o charity_n require_v it_o but_o further_o than_o so_o the_o superior_a must_v be_v

in_o respect_n of_o the_o last_o question_n which_o be_v if_o they_o ought_v not_o always_o to_o yield_v some_o little_a particularity_n to_o the_o superior_a more_o than_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o
