priest_n there_o be_v many_o and_o great_a cause_n the_o first_o be_v that_o he_o may_v try_v their_o faith_n whither_o they_o beléeve_v his_o word_n and_o his_o promise_n for_o god_n be_v wont_v by_o

the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n bear_v witness_n of_o i_o for_o whereas_o the_o priest_n be_v command_v too_o judge_v of_o leprosy_n and_o to_o take_v a_o offering_n for_o the_o cleanse_n of_o the_o
