the_o sense_n of_o my_o oration_n nor_o puzzle_v the_o understanding_n of_o the_o reader_n only_o one_o thing_n more_o i_o desire_v my_o noble_a reader_n as_o to_o observe_v that_o most_o of_o my_o

and_o speak_v to_o endeavour_n more_o to_o match_n or_o marry_v word_n together_o than_o to_o match_n and_o marry_v sense_n and_o reason_n together_o which_o be_v strange_a we_o shall_v prefer_v shadow_n before_o substance_n or_o the_o spig_n or_o tap_n before_o the_o liquor_n for_o word_n be_v but_o to_o convey_v the_o sense_n of_o a_o cration_n to_o the_o ear_n and_o so_o into_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o hearer_n like_v as_o spout_n do_v wine_n into_o bottle_n and_o who_o that_o be_v wise_a will_v regard_v what_o the_o vessel_n be_v so_o it_o be_v wholesome_a and_o clean_a
