that_o all_o religious_a worship_n of_o angel_n or_o saint_n be_v unchristian_a pass_v not_o you_o who_o do_v give_v sentence_n against_o you_o in_o the_o religious_a worship_n of_o angel_n that_o

come_v out_o of_o the_o philosophy_n school_n for_o the_o platonist_n we_o know_v do_v worship_n angel_n yea_o and_o soul_n depart_v of_o such_o as_o have_v be_v worthy_n among_o they_o they_o
