other_o respect_n as_o i_o have_v show_v but_o i_o have_v think_v that_o counsel_n in_o regard_n of_o number_n be_v of_o discrete_a quantity_n do_v not_o require_v any_o place_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o greatness_n as_o if_o they_o be_v in_o this_o regard_n of_o continue_a quantity_n also_o more_o than_o if_o they_o have_v be_v little_a the_o abstract_a number_n of_o eight_o i_o trow_v can_v

of_o bartholomaeus_n abramus_fw-la to_o the_o archbishop_n of_o ravenna_n set_v down_o by_o crab_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o council_n and_o by_o binius_fw-la at_o the_o end_n that_o the_o

of_o which_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o eight_o but_o this_o account_n be_v for_o very_o good_a reason_n reject_v by_o synod_n by_o praefat._n huic_fw-la synod_n surius_n and_o florent_fw-la and_o
