not_o what_o course_n to_o take_v but_o as_o the_o most_o feisable_v i_o can_v imagine_v i_o carry_v a_o sheet_n of_o a_o sort_n of_o what_o be_v do_v to_o some_o bookseller_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n and_o desire_v they_o to_o encourage_v and_o advance_v so_o good_a a_o work_n by_o deposit_v or_o lend_v some_o money_n to_o help_v to_o finish_v it_o and_o that_o when_o it_o be_v do_v they_o shall_v pay_v themselves_o by_o book_n they_o will_v not_o hear_v of_o that_o side_n they_o will_v not_o buy_v book_n before_o they_o be_v finish_v but_o if_o i_o will_v sell_v they_o book_n which_o they_o know_v i_o have_v they_o will_v give_v i_o money_n i_o know_v no_o other_o way_n be_v force_v to_o take_v that_o course_n but_o withal_o i_o make_v this_o proposition_n that_o i_o may_v have_v my_o book_n again_o when_o i_o return_v the_o money_n with_o some_o small_a gain_n they_o promise_v i_o fair_a but_o perform_v nothing_o for_o afterward_o when_o i_o come_v to_o redeem_v my_o book_n they_o tell_v i_o that_o they_o be_v sell_v but_o if_o i_o have_v a_o mind_n and_o will_v give_v such_o a_o price_n they_o will_v endeavour_v to_o get_v they_o again_o some_o i_o have_v and_o some_o i_o lose_v but_o by_o this_o mean_v i_o break_v and_o spoil_v my_o library_n however_o by_o the_o sale_n of_o these_o book_n and_o some_o little_a credit_n i_o have_v with_o the_o stationer_n my_o book_n be_v finish_v never_o do_v young_a big-bellyed_a woman_n desire_v to_o see_v the_o fruit_n and_o issue_n of_o her_o body_n as_o i_o do_v to_o see_v my_o book_n finish_v and_o thereby_o to_o see_v my_o name_n in_o print_n this_o be_v the_o utmost_a bound_n of_o my_o ambition_n burr_n time_n that_o perfect_v all_o thing_n perfect_v my_o book_n and_o i_o be_v very_o diligent_a in_o publish_v it_o for_o the_o title_n be_v careful_o post_v up_o and_o i_o not_o a_o little_a proud_a to_o see_v they_o in_o public_a walk_v the_o street_n and_o show_v they_o to_o several_a of_o my_o acquaintance_n but_o all_o this_o harvest_n produce_v but_o little_a corn_n my_o mountain_n bring_v forth_o a_o mouse_n for_o by_o that_o time_n the_o printer_n be_v pay_v the_o town_n be_v full_a and_o i_o may_v make_v waste-paper_n of_o the_o rest_n no_o body_n will_v give_v the_o first_o price_n although_o that_o be_v low_a enough_o in_o all_o conscience_n so_o that_o i_o be_v force_v to_o lower_v my_o top-sayl_n and_o sell_v for_o what_o i_o can_v get_v and_o be_v glad_a of_o any_o thing_n and_o with_o much_o ado_n with_o all_o this_o toil_n and_o labour_n i_o again_o furnish_v myself_o with_o book_n but_o nothing_o near_o so_o well_o as_o i_o have_v be_v so_o that_o i_o come_v off_o from_o this_o adventure_n of_o print_v with_o a_o scratch_a face_n as_o all_o other_o must_v do_v that_o be_v not_o breed_v in_o the_o way_n of_o book-selling_a i_o know_v not_o their_o way_n of_o exchange_v i_o give_v they_o their_o full_a rate_n for_o what_o book_n i_o have_v of_o they_o and_o they_o allow_v i_o no_o more_o than_o the_o low_a ready_a money_n rate_n for_o i_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v i_o make_v but_o a_o blind_a bargain_n but_o however_o i_o have_v attain_v to_o the_o end_n i_o aim_v at_o i_o have_v be_v in_o print_n and_o now_o i_o can_v and_o do_v present_a several_a of_o my_o book_n to_o several_a of_o my_o acquaintance_n and_o much_o ready_a money_n it_o cost_v i_o in_o bind_v those_o book_n that_o i_o give_v away_o and_o all_o this_o trouble_n and_o cost_n be_v i_o at_o for_o a_o little_a honour_n when_o i_o have_v be_v better_a to_o have_v sit_v still_o the_o whilst_o but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v so_o but_o resolve_v now_o i_o have_v begin_v to_o proceed_v far_o i_o intend_v to_o let_v the_o world_n see_v some_o more_o of_o my_o work_n and_o my_o fancy_n still_o run_v upon_o romance_n i_o be_v mind_v to_o translate_v another_o but_o by_o experience_n find_v that_o those_o sort_n of_o romance_n that_o treat_v of_o old_a impossible_a knight_n errantry_n be_v out_o of_o fashion_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o new_a one_o creep_v into_o their_o place_n i_o seek_v for_o one_o and_o be_v not_o long_o ere_o i_o pitch_v upon_o such_o a_o one_o as_o i_o think_v will_v do_v the_o business_n for_o be_v be_v full_a of_o love-sick_a expression_n and_o thunder-thumping_a sentence_n there_o be_v love_n and_o arm_n and_o some_o strange_a impossible_a adventure_n for_o which_o i_o like_v it_o the_o better_a i_o do_v believe_v the_o gentry_n of_o england_n be_v much_o indebt_v to_o i_o for_o this_o translation_n for_o i_o have_v like_o other_o conceit_a translator_n and_o author_n coin_a several_a new_a english_a word_n which_o be_v only_o such_o french_a word_n as_o methought_n have_v a_o fine_a tone_n wieh_o they_o or_o such_o as_o i_o can_v not_o handfome_o rranslate_v and_o therefore_o let_v they_o pass_v as_o english_a to_o be_v understand_v as_o well_o by_o the_o reader_n as_o by_o i_o the_o translator_n who_o know_v not_o what_o to_o make_v of_o they_o the_o love_n and_o adventure_n of_o clerio_n and_o lozia_n i_o begin_v and_o in_o short_a time_n finish_v but_o long_o before_o it_o be_v finish_v it_o be_v begin_v to_o be_v print_v i_o have_v the_o same_o impatience_n as_o former_o so_o that_o i_o do_v not_o nor_o can_v not_o stay_v till_o it_o be_v all_o write_v but_o begin_v i_o be_v again_o ttouble_v about_o paper_n but_o i_o have_v some_o money_n my_o stationer_n some_o faith_n and_o the_o book_n be_v much_o less_o than_o the_o former_a so_o that_o finish_v it_o be_v and_o i_o suppose_v this_o book_n to_o be_v more_o gentile_a than_o the_o former_a give_v it_o a_o more_o gentile_a title_n and_o the_o name_n of_o the_o translator_n be_v place_v on_o the_o title-page_n in_o large_a character_n there_o be_v also_o add_v the_o honour_a word_n gent._n to_o import_n that_o the_o translator_n be_v a_o gentleman_n that_o he_o be_v every_o inch_n of_o he_o in_o his_o own_o imagination_n and_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o so_o print_v that_o word_n on_o the_o title_n of_o the_o book_n do_v as_o much_o entitle_v he_o to_o gentility_n as_o if_o he_o have_v letter_n patent_n for_o it_o from_o the_o heralds-office_n nay_o do_v suppose_v this_o to_o be_v more_o authentic_a because_o more_o public_a and_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o this_o be_v a_o very_a great_a itch_n in_o some_o people_n i_o know_v one_o that_o translate_v a_o book_n and_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v print_v mere_o to_o have_v the_o title_n of_o esq_n add_v to_o his_o name_n and_o now_o it_o be_v grow_v to_o so_o common_a a_o custom_n that_o bookseller_n usual_o title_n their_o author_n gentleman_n esquire_n and_o sometime_o person_n of_o quality_n that_o be_v only_o poor_a mercenary_a fellow_n that_o the_o book_n may_v have_v the_o better_a esteem_n may_v sell_v the_o better_a but_o now_o my_o second_o book_n be_v finish_v the_o word_n finis_fw-la be_v print_v and_o just_a at_o the_o same_o time_n i_o finish_v and_o put_v a_o end_n to_o my_o service_n with_o this_o my_o second_o master_n the_o occasion_n that_o cause_v we_o to_o part_n be_v several_a and_o in_o short_a these_o my_o master_n be_v as_o good_a a_o husband_n of_o his_o time_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o and_o most_o of_o my_o time_n be_v spend_v in_o my_o own_o affair_n either_o in_o writing_n or_o read_v for_o my_o own_o pleasure_n or_o walk_v abroad_o to_o visit_v the_o printer_n my_o master_n know_v of_o my_o design_n and_o since_o he_o have_v little_a for_o i_o to_o do_v permit_v i_o to_o proceed_v and_o
