artifice_n of_o word_n in_o matter_n dubious_a and_o opinionative_n though_o i_o have_v think_v fit_a to_o declare_v my_o judgement_n and_o acquaint_v you_o with_o the_o reason_n and_o ground_n that_o

beside_o my_o business_n in_o the_o world_n have_v be_v much_o especial_o in_o my_o own_o profession_n i_o have_v write_v it_o by_o piecemeal_n and_o as_o the_o several_a subject_n come_v into_o my_o

they_o be_v i_o i_o allow_v they_o a_o equal_a title_n to_o it_o woman_n of_o middling_a quality_n esteem_v thing_n worthy_a rather_o more_o than_o man_n be_v general_o less_o vicious_a better_o
