some_o people_n there_o be_v which_o do_v say_v and_o publish_v much_o evil_a of_o the_o cool_n with_o snow_n without_o know_v if_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o new_a thing_n and_o especial_o in_o this_o country_n they_o fear_v that_o there_o will_v come_v hurt_v to_o they_o by_o the_o use_n of_o it_o and_o i_o be_v at_o the_o table_n of_o a_o lord_n there_o be_v bring_v
