to_o many_o sin_n so_o neither_o do_v the_o same_o church_n so_o abound_v in_o knowledge_n and_o truth_n but_o that_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o error_n christ_n intend_v not_o by_o his_o

for_o the_o dead_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o resurrection_n therefore_o we_o can_v doubt_v but_o that_o the_o memorial_n here_o speak_v of_o by_o epiphanius_n use_v for_o the_o saint_n in_o respect_n
