it_o be_v so_o ridiculous_a then_o to_o think_v that_o this_o lady_n can_v understand_v these_o term_n as_o it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v laugh_v at_o then_o to_o trouble_v one_o self_n to_o answer_v

it_o be_v well_o know_v by_o the_o copy_n that_o those_o fault_n lie_v most_o upon_o the_o corrector_n and_o the_o printer_n but_o put_v the_o case_n there_o may_v be_v some_o slip_n in_o that_o
