the_o currycomb_n turn_v to_o its_o right_n use_v or_o the_o powder-monkey_n to_o a_o jamaica_n ship_n dress_v with_o it_o by_o the_o author_n of_o the_o trip_v to_o holland_n the_o fiery_a plantation_n author_n perhaps_o may_v be_v angry_a that_o i_o liken_v he_o to_o so_o little_a a_o animal_n as_o a_o monkey_n in_o the_o title_n when_o in_o his_o tower-hill_n simile_n he_o assume_v

never_o breed_v he_o a_o scholar_n but_o where_o his_o want_n of_o it_o appear_v may_v be_v easy_o discernible_a even_o by_o our_o author_n who_o have_v none_o the_o way_n to_o give_v he_o no_o further_o provocation_n be_v to_o answer_v he_o in_o latin_a and_o then_o your_o sure_a not_o to_o be_v understand_v unless_o he_o happy_o light_v on_o tom._n brown_n to_o expound_v it_o to_o he_o and_o the_o way_n to_o provoke_v he_o be_v much_o more_o difficult_a to_o be_v find_v if_o our_o champion_n please_v to_o remember_v who_o it_o be_v challenge_v he_o before_o his_o printer_n and_o
