which_o our_o love_a mother_n the_o holy_a church_n have_v make_v upon_o it_o let_v it_o be_v allegorical_a or_o anagogical_a or_o what_o it_o will_v this_o be_v only_a that_o which_o make_v mighty_a

of_o his_o dear_a mother_n the_o holy_a church_n must_v have_v perforce_o tumble_v he_o topsy_n turvy_o overthwart_a the_o field_n that_o he_o do_v not_o well_o see_v what_o he_o say_v he_o be_v
