the_o world_n gentleman_n have_v i_o begin_v my_o auction_n or_o carry_v they_o on_o by_o other_o mean_v then_o be_v here_o mention_v i_o shall_v own_v it_o a_o piece_n of_o impudence_n to_o desire_v

by_o these_o reflection_n the_o press_n be_v open_a to_o he_o i_o mean_v but_o not_o to_o i_o as_o he_o have_v order_v it_o but_o if_o i_o have_v a_o clear_a stage_n i_o desire_v no_o quarter_n from_o
