philosophy_n that_o say_v they_o belong_v not_o to_o all_o christian_n but_o only_o to_o divine_n it_o be_v write_v indeed_o unto_o the_o colossian_n and_o geographer_n say_v that_o colossus_n be_v

we_o leave_v off_o the_o old_a want_n of_o defend_v aristotle_n who_o the_o most_o learned_a of_o the_o university_n have_v so_o long_a time_n high_o esteem_v nay_o we_o will_v rather_o with_o the_o
