my_o chamber_n rent_n not_o to_o give_v i_o one_o penny_n ever_o after_o i_o may_v dare_v lay_v there_o be_v no_o catholic_n lady_n of_o any_o quality_n in_o london_n who_o she_o do_v not_o either_o

that_o a_o sin_n be_v never_o forgive_v without_o restitution_n of_o honour_n and_o good_n if_o it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n be_v those_o fit_a to_o guide_v other_o man_n soul_n that_o maintain_v

justice_n lest_o themselves_o be_v find_v guilty_a of_o a_o error_n but_o why_o do_v i_o wonder_v at_o those_o proceed_n when_o i_o often_o say_v that_o in_o all_o my_o travel_n in_o most_o kingdom_n of_o europe_n i_o never_o be_v eye-witness_n to_o more_o trick_n and_o knavery_n than_o i_o have_v see_v practise_v by_o the_o forename_a companion_n of_o i_o in_o this_o prison_n although_o repute_a

all_o the_o profit_n to_o themselves_o there_o be_v one_o of_o they_o so_o ingenious_a that_o whilst_o he_o and_o i_o walk_v in_o a_o certain_a room_n a_o gentlewoman_n call_v to_o my_o hear_n for_o
