it_o reckon_v they_o up_o with_o the_o canonical_a book_n for_o so_o the_o canon_n conclude_v we_o have_v receive_v from_o our_o father_n that_o these_o book_n be_v to_o be_v read_v in_o church_n

for_o any_o of_o they_o and_o if_o i_o can_v make_v good_a what_o i_o have_v undertake_v i_o shall_v make_v the_o council_n of_o trent_n it_o self_n the_o great_a instance_n against_o the_o
