holy_a assembly_n the_o great_a paramount_n work_v of_o christianity_n especial_o at_o mass_n but_o these_o man_n although_o move_v unto_o that_o their_o exception_n by_o a_o zeal_n not_o evil_a yet_o

of_o life_n nothing_o or_o perhaps_o because_o catholic_n doctor_n have_v teach_v that_o confession_n together_o with_o contrition_n may_v sometime_o be_v so_o great_a and_o cordial_a at_o the_o
