that_o as_o he_o do_v no_o where_o deny_v his_o translate_n of_o he_o so_o that_o he_o do_v conceal_v it_o we_o may_v very_o well_o impute_v it_o to_o the_o desire_n he_o have_v both_o to_o afford_v

he_o do_v translate_v it_o or_o not_o yet_o this_o i_o suppose_v will_v not_o be_v question_v that_o very_o few_o author_n either_o ancient_a or_o modern_a have_v in_o so_o narrow_a a_o compass_n so_o high_o deserve_v of_o the_o learned_a and_o ingenious_a reader_n as_o he_o have_v do_v i_o will_v not_o here_o mention_v any_o thing_n concern_v our_o author_n life_n or_o extraction_n the_o one_o whereof_o be_v sufficient_o know_v and_o for_o the_o other_o i_o shall_v content_v myself_o with_o what_o sir_n robert_n naunton_n have_v brief_o write_v of_o he_o which_o i_o have_v print_v here_o
