of_o faith_n so_o the_o best_a canonist_n and_o casuist_n define_v a_o promise_n though_o we_o for_o thy_o better_a understanding_n define_v it_o otherwise_o and_o the_o perform_v of_o a_o promise_n

to_o give_v a_o entire_a and_o true_a definition_n of_o faith_n because_o faith_n be_v a_o thing_n so_o indefinite_a and_o so_o general_a that_o it_o have_v no_o genus_fw-la which_o will_v
