of_o the_o roman_a faith_n in_o a_o word_n our_o young_a gallant_n be_v grow_v so_o very_o vain_a in_o their_o apparel_n and_o dress_n that_o desire_v to_o see_v change_n and_o excess_n of_o vanity_n we_o need_v but_o look_v on_o one_o another_o vain_a change_n of_o dress_n be_v almost_o as_o diverse_a as_o the_o person_n that_o wear_v they_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o view_v
