●hen_o we_o must_v seek_v out_o the_o ●hiefe_a word_n of_o the_o idea_n by_o ●alling_v to_o mind_n if_o we_o can_v ●he_v first_o letter_n thereof_o which_o ●s_v to_o be_v find_v out_o by_o repea●ing_v

follow_v that_o better_a thereunto_o to_o find_v what_o be_v the_o second_o letter_n and_o when_o we_o have_v the_o two_o first_o letter_n it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n by_o the_o length_n of_o the_o word_n the_o transcendency_n therein_o and_o the_o two_o first_o letter_n to_o find_v out_o the_o whole_a first_o word_n and_o thereby_o to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o sentence_n to_o conclude_v if_o by_o none_o of_o these_o mean_v you_o can_v find_v out_o the_o idea_n which_o you_o seek_v for_o let_v it_o pass_v and_o trouble_v not_o yourself_o any_o further_a about_o the_o
