use_v dip_v and_o it_o be_v more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o mystery_n to_o use_v it_o three_o time_n and_o that_o so_o the_o ancient_a church_n understand_v it_o therefore_o these_o thing_n be_v a_o

be_o of_o opinion_n it_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o make_v this_o change_n but_o a_o church_n that_o have_v more_o power_n than_o that_o church_n ever_o have_v even_o the_o

of_o which_o holy_a never_o any_o command_n be_v give_v as_o none_o that_o we_o know_v of_o be_v ever_o give_v for_o its_o sanctification_n though_o in_o all_o probability_n it_o be_v found_v in_o
