this_o position_n decree_v by_o vigilius_n be_v such_o as_o do_v not_o only_o condemn_v the_o catholic_a church_n that_o be_v all_o the_o oppugner_n of_o it_o but_o even_o vigilius_n himself_o and_o all_o who_o defend_v it_o say_v you_o that_o a_o dead_a man_n may_v not_o noviter_fw-la be_v condemn_v in_o say_v so_o you_o condemn_v the_o holy_a council_n at_o sardica_n of_o constantinople_n of_o

the_o dead_a even_o in_o say_v so_o you_o do_v noviter_fw-la condemn_v all_o those_o father_n be_v now_o dead_a and_o so_o you_o do_v that_o same_o thing_n which_o you_o say_v must_v not_o be_v do_v and_o even_o by_o defend_v your_o position_n you_o overthrow_v your_o own_o position_n for_o you_o do_v noviter_fw-la condemn_v all_o those_o holy_a father_n be_v dead_a and_o yet_o you_o say_v that_o no_o man_n may_v noviter_fw-la condemn_v the_o dead_a nay_o you_o condemn_v not_o they_o only_o but_o even_o your_o own_o self_n also_o herein_o for_o you_o condemn_v those_o who_o condemn_v the_o

such_o a_o strange_a discord_n there_o be_v in_o this_o heretical_a position_n of_o vigilius_n that_o it_o not_o only_o fight_v against_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o opposite_n unto_o it_o but_o
