you_o may_v remember_v that_o discourse_v with_o you_o frequent_o about_o some_o piece_n that_o have_v appear_v under_o the_o late_a learned_a and_o pious_a bishop_n of_o lincoln_n name_n particular_o that_o of_o the_o genuine_a remain_n i_o always_o express_a my_o sense_n about_o they_o to_o this_o effect_n that_o though_o there_o be_v foul_a play_n practise_v in_o the_o publish_n of_o they_o and_o such_o as_o deserve_v to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o yet_o that_o those_o concern_v therein_o have_v lay_v their_o design_n of_o get_v a_o penny_n so_o open_a and_o their_o poor_a art_n of_o

notwithstanding_o the_o expectation_n and_o importunity_n of_o other_o or_o the_o advantage_n we_o may_v otherwise_o propose_v to_o ourselves_o and_o thus_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a conscious_a to_o
