body_n it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o those_o who_o be_v desirous_a to_o raise_v up_o any_o soul_n of_o the_o dead_a they_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o in_o those_o place_n wherein_o these_o kind_n of_o soul_n be_v most_o know_v to_o be_v conversant_a or_o for_o some_o alliance_n allure_a those_o soul_n into_o their_o forsake_a body_n or_o for_o some_o kind_n of_o affection_n in_o

and_o suchlike_a prodigy_n see_v therefore_o the_o place_n most_o fit_v for_o these_o thing_n be_v churchyard_n and_o better_a then_o they_o be_v those_o place_n wherein_o there_o be_v the_o

that_o place_n be_v better_a than_o these_o where_o some_o dead_a carcase_n that_o come_v by_o violent_a death_n be_v not_o yet_o expiate_v nor_o right_o bury_v and_o be_v late_o bury_v for_o the_o

body_n and_o expel_v they_o far_o off_o unto_o the_o place_n of_o judgement_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o dead_a be_v not_o easy_o to_o be_v raise_v up_o except_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o they_o who_o we_o know_v to_o be_v evil_a or_o to_o have_v perish_v by_o a_o violent_a death_n and_o who_o body_n do_v want_v a_o right_n and_o due_a burial_n now_o although_o we_o have_v speak_v concern_v such_o place_n of_o this_o kind_n it_o will_v not_o be_v safe_a or_o commodious_a to_o go_v unto_o they_o but_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o take_v to_o what_o

certain_a competent_a thing_n compound_v according_a to_o a_o true_a rule_n with_o congruent_a inscription_n of_o name_n and_o seal_n do_v very_o much_o avail_v to_o the_o raise_n up_o of_o depart_a soul_n moreover_o these_o thing_n which_o be_v now_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o always_o sufficient_a to_o raise_v up_o soul_n because_o of_o a_o extranatural_a portion_n of_o understanding_n and_o
