you_o consider_v well_o many_o new_a invent_a bridge_n make_v with_o great_a skill_n and_o industry_n yet_o nevertheless_o they_o serve_v for_o little_a or_o no_o use_n but_o your_o bridge_n make_v with_o flag_n or_o bulrush_n be_v nothing_o so_o chargeable_a and_o yet_o nevertheless_o of_o great_a use_n we_o will_v show_v here_o in_o few_o word_n how_o they_o be_v and_o in_o what_o manner_n
