enough_o to_o answer_v this_o that_o it_o be_v a_o parable_n which_o be_v a_o similitude_n and_o must_v not_o be_v strain_v beyond_o its_o scope_n which_o be_v to_o let_v we_o know_v that_o good_a

ourselves_o infallible_a universal_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n as_o the_o pope_n do_v but_o that_o in_o some_o fundamental_a truth_n we_o be_v infallible_a that_o be_v most_o certain_a of_o the_o
