and_o you_o be_v easy_o mistake_v one_o for_o another_o but_o the_o rector_n seem_v to_o have_v no_o concern_v for_o any_o truth_n but_o what_o respect_v the_o bishop_n power_n avoid_v all_o

a_o unhappy_a mistake_n which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o overthrow_v his_o argument_n true_a say_v he_o yet_o unto_o the_o two_o first_o i_o add_v i_o be_o willing_a to_o believe_v etc._n etc._n the_o
