this_o i_o have_v no_o certainty_n i_o walk_v indeed_o a_o great_a way_n and_o find_v gallery_n go_v off_o in_o all_o hand_n without_o end_n and_o whereas_o in_o the_o roman_a catacomb_n there_o be_v not_o above_o three_o or_o four_o row_n of_o niche_n that_o be_v cut_v out_o in_o the_o rock_n one_o over_o another_o into_o which_o the_o dead_a body_n be_v lay_v here_o there_o be_v general_o six_o

that_o look_v like_o the_o belly_n of_o chest_n or_o of_o a_o face_n to_o shut_v up_o the_o niche_n when_o a_o dead_a body_n be_v lay_v in_o they_o so_o that_o it_o seem_v they_o be_v monstrous_a
