150_o year_n after_o st._n john_n damascen_n who_o can_v find_v no_o testimony_n for_o this_o fable_n in_o the_o latin_a church_n of_o any_o weight_n but_o that_o rather_o it_o be_v contradict_v in_o

imbrue_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o divers_a holy_a martyr_n a_o little_a before_o his_o death_n he_o put_v a_o gentleman_n to_o death_n upon_o false_a surmise_n and_o take_v his_o head_n by_o the_o
