some_o say_v cajetan_n among_o other_o be_v institute_v for_o a_o memorial_n of_o god_n give_v the_o lie_v by_o sound_n of_o the_o trumpet_n that_o be_v not_o likely_a neither_o because_o this_o

this_o feast_n to_o be_v a_o preparation_n to_o the_o feast_n of_o atonement_n and_o expiation_n and_o therefore_o say_v calvin_n it_o be_v call_v a_o memorial_n levit._fw-la 23_o for_o this_o

of_o that_o because_o the_o feast_n of_o expiation_n be_v a_o fast_a rather_o than_o a_o feast_n but_o that_o be_v mean_v here_o as_o well_o as_o any_o of_o the_o other_o for_o this_o reason_n
