give_v over_o i_o can_v tell_v but_o because_o such_o thing_n oft_o happen_v i_o be_v the_o less_o willing_a to_o undertake_v it_o and_o do_v on_o that_o account_n at_o first_o decline_v it_o as_o

therefore_o to_o say_v nothing_o of_o it_o rather_o than_o to_o say_v that_o what_o dr._n holder_n have_v attempt_v but_o give_v over_o i_o have_v undertake_v with_o success_n which_o will_v have_v look_v like_o insultation_n in_o i_o and_o a_o reproach_v of_o he_o if_o any_o other_o who_o know_v more_o than_o i_o do_v can_v say_v of_o he_o all_o that_o which_o he_o now_o say_v of_o himself_o it_o be_v free_a for_o he_o or_o they_o to_o have_v say_v it_o if_o they_o so_o please_v but_o from_o i_o who_o know_v it_o not_o nor_o do_v yet_o it_o can_v not_o in_o reason_n be_v expect_v and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n i_o say_v nothing_o of_o the_o constable_n of_o castil_n son_n what_o pablo_n bonnet_n say_v of_o he_o i_o know_v not_o have_v never_o see_v the_o book_n nor_o what_o be_v

have_v also_o deliver_v my_o opinion_n in_o that_o letter_n of_o march_n 14._o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v think_v to_o pretend_v to_o impossibility_n but_o without_o name_v any_o person_n in_o

see_v another_o speak_v i_o know_v also_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o a_o deaf_a person_n by_o see_v another_o speak_v may_v sometime_o guess_v shrewd_o at_o what_o be_v say_v but_o it_o must_v be_v in_o such_o word_n and_o sentence_n as_o he_o have_v be_v acquaint_v with_o not_o in_o a_o strange_a language_n of_o which_o he_o know_v neither_o the_o sense_n nor_o the_o word_n for_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o formation_n of_o divers_a sound_n in_o speech_n be_v perform_v so_o inward_o in_o the_o mouth_n throat_n and_o nostril_n and_o the_o distinction_n of_o sound_n therein_o so_o very_o nice_a that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o be_v discern_v by_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o by-stander_n but_o in_o know_a word_n by_o see_v the_o formation_n of_o some_o letter_n especial_o the_o labial_o he_o may_v guess_v at_o the_o rest_n as_o we_o do_v when_o in_o a_o word_n we_o find_v a_o letter_n or_o two_o miswritten_a or_o left-out_a but_o from_o the_o rest_n may_v easy_o know_v what_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o in_o know_a sentence_n have_v thus_o discern_v some_o word_n he_o may_v by_o they_o guess_v at_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sentence_n or_o at_o least_o at_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o and_o when_o this_o very_a particular_a be_v at_o gresham-colledge_n discourse_v upon_o the_o occasion_n of_o mr._n whaly_n be_v there_o it_o be_v then_o affirm_v by_o a_o gentleman_n there_o present_a that_o himself_o beyond-sea_n have_v see_v this_o constable_n of_o castil_n son_n and_o have_v hear_v of_o these_o report_v before_o do_v the_o more_o curious_o observe_v he_o and_o find_v those_o about_o he_o to_o discourse_v with_o he_o by_o sign_n and_o gesture_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o be_v usual_a with_o other_o deaf_a person_n which_o as_o he_o well_o observe_v will_v not_o have_v be_v if_o he_o by_o see_v they_o speak_v can_v tell_v what_o they_o say_v and_o can_v himself_o by_o speak_v give_v they_o a_o answer_n so_o that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v something_o of_o amplification_n in_o that_o story_n since_o therefore_o i_o can_v add_v nothing_o from_o my_o own_o knowledge_n to_o what_o by_o other_o have_v be_v say_v of_o he_o and_o though_o i_o
