be_v call_v a_o intercession_n but_o rather_o a_o approbation_n of_o the_o intercession_n of_o christ_n and_o as_o it_o be_v clerk_n unto_o this_o high_a priest_n to_o say_v amen_o to_o approve_v

all_o contempt_n from_o the_o name_n of_o priest_n and_o you_o see_v to_o what_o end_n he_o be_v anoint_v priest_n first_o to_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o second_o to_o make_v
