which_o ignorance_n and_o barbarism_n overwhelm_v well_o nigh_o all_o the_o west_n and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n fall_v at_o the_o same_o time_n into_o such_o monstrous_a corruption_n that_o those_o who_o have_v write_v the_o history_n thereof_o do_v not_o mention_v it_o without_o horror_n i_o do_v intend_v to_o make_v any_o stop_n here_o in_o allege_v proof_n for_o what_o i_o say_v

yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n whatever_o the_o corruption_n may_v have_v be_v which_o be_v scatter_v elsewhere_o we_o have_v good_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o it_o have_v not_o quite_o stifle_v the_o ancient_a doctrine_n and_o religion_n of_o these_o diocese_n which_o may_v be_v easy_o make_v out_o by_o the_o follow_a observation_n 1._o i_o own_o that_o we_o find_v in_o the_o write_n of_o odo_n the_o first_o abbot_n of_o clugny_n who_o be_v bear_v in_o aquitain_n some_o expression_n which_o import_n that_o he_o incline_v to_o the_o opinion_n of_o paschasius_fw-la as_o appear_v in_o

but_o we_o must_v here_o take_v notice_n of_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o ancient_a custom_n of_o this_o monastery_n do_v plain_o show_v that_o when_o this_o congregation_n be_v found_v those_o who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o these_o custom_n be_v not_o of_o paschasius_n opinion_n this_o be_v evident_a from_o chap._n 30._o of_o the_o second_o book_n and_o from_o chap._n 28._o of_o the_o three_o the_o second_o be_v that_o though_o odo_n may_v have_v entertain_v this_o opinion_n of_o paschasius_fw-la concern_v the_o carnal_a presence_n of_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o we_o may_v easy_o observe_v that_o he_o never_o own_v the_o consequence_n of_o it_o for_o we_o find_v in_o the_o relation_n of_o the_o death_n of_o this_o odo_n who_o die_v at_o rome_n in_o the_o year_n 942_o that_o he_o receive_v the_o eucharist_n but_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o any_o adoration_n that_o he_o pay_v at_o his_o receive_n it_o 2._o we_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o in_o this_o description_n of_o odo_n departure_n which_o be_v make_v by_o one_o of_o his_o disciple_n we_o meet_v with_o neither_o confession_n before_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o eucharist_n nor_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o extreme_a unction_n which_o be_v sufficient_a proof_n that_o he_o know_v nothing_o of_o these_o sacrament_n 3._o it_o appear_v by_o the_o write_n of_o gerbertus_n who_o be_v educate_v in_o the_o monastery_n of_o aurillac_n what_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o this_o diocese_n he_o have_v be_v the_o tutor_n of_o robert_n son_n to_o hugh_n capet_n who_o raise_v he_o
