whereas_o also_o in_o many_o place_n in_o the_o territory_n of_o rome_n there_o be_v find_v many_o spark_n of_o the_o mine_n of_o â—ren_n of_o black_a colour_n among_o the_o sand_n of_o certain_a

find_v by_o all_o which_o reason_n and_o apparent_a effect_n it_o seem_v most_o agreeable_a to_o truth_n that_o the_o gold_n which_o be_v find_v in_o such_o sand_n indies_n this_o matter_n be_v
