use_v dip_v and_o it_o be_v more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o mystery_n to_o use_v it_o three_o time_n and_o that_o so_o the_o ancient_a church_n understand_v it_o therefore_o these_o thing_n be_v a_o

be_o of_o opinion_n it_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o make_v this_o change_n but_o a_o church_n that_o have_v more_o power_n than_o that_o church_n ever_o have_v even_o the_o

by_o that_o particular_a church_n but_o by_o the_o whole_a catholic_n church_n throughout_o the_o world_n and_o that_o church_n indeed_o that_o can_v do_v that_o can_v without_o doubt_n change_v the_o dip_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n in_o water_n into_o a_o little_a sprinkle_n upon_o the_o face_n by_o reason_n of_o some_o emergency_n and_o inconvenience_n occasion_v by_o the_o difference_n of_o
