in_o purgatory_n with_o due_a rigour_n of_o justice_n for_o example_n such_o a_o good_a will_v be_v the_o conversion_n of_o infidel_n extirpation_n of_o heresy_n constant_a peace_n in_o the_o church_n

the_o performance_n of_o a_o little_a thing_n may_v be_v a_o effectual_a mean_n to_o obtain_v a_o great_a good_a when_o by_o the_o exact_v of_o a_o thing_n so_o small_a every_o body_n be_v invite_v
