of_o my_o love-taking_a or_o my_o take_a lover_n i_o begin_v to_o bethink_v i_o what_o course_n i_o be_v best_a to_o take_v for_o my_o comfort_n when_o find_v many_o malicious_a people_n that_o can_v

begin_v to_o think_v that_o a_o little_a study_n in_o the_o law_n will_v gain_v much_o good_a in_o a_o commonwealth_n whereupon_o without_o much_o circumstance_n i_o get_v i_o into_o the_o formal_a outside_n of_o a_o jolly_a fellow_n and_o for_o the_o better_a countenance_n to_o my_o credit_n furnish_v my_o study_n with_o more_o book_n than_o i_o have_v either_o time_n to_o read_v or_o wit_n to_o understand_v when_o have_v get_v acquaintance_n with_o some_o setter_n for_o client_n rub_v over_o my_o poor_a french_a have_v litl●ton_n before_o i_o and_o a_o book_n of_o note_n i_o know_v

and_o all_o in_o which_o pretty_a thrive_a course_n i_o have_v not_o continue_v long_o but_o that_o be_v find_v by_o my_o learning_n unfit_a to_o plead_v for_o a_o black_a pudding_n i_o be_v take_v

a_o bench-whistler_n than_o a_o bencher_n and_o more_o meet_v for_o my_o good_a conscience_n to_o be_v arraign_v at_o the_o bar_n then_o to_o plead_v at_o a_o bar_n but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o lest_o i_o shall_v be_v take_v for_o that_o i_o true_o be_v i_o leave_v that_o course_n and_o take_v another_o invention_n by_o the_o back_n i_o get_v i_o into_o a_o country_n where_o i_o be_v

disease_a creature_n and_o seem_v with_o the_o rueful_a countenance_n that_o i_o can_v frame_v for_o the_o purpose_n i_o will_v so_o move_v the_o heart_n and_o pick_v the_o purse_n of_o kind_a people_n that_o i_o doubt_v not_o in_o time_n to_o grow_v a_o wealthy_a beggar_n and_o with_o this_o invention_n i_o go_v forward_o till_z after_o that_o i_o have_v so_o long_o follow_v my_o
