can_v not_o have_v much_o knowledge_n of_o the_o world_n but_o it_o please_v god_n to_o command_v his_o servant_n nature_n to_o endue_v i_o with_o a_o poetical_a and_o philosophical_a genius_n even_o from_o my_o birth_n for_o i_o do_v write_v some_o book_n in_o that_o kind_n before_o i_o be_v twelve_o year_n of_o age_n which_o for_o want_v of_o good_a method_n and_o order_n i_o will_v never_o

to_o the_o read_n of_o philosophical_a author_n of_o purpose_n to_o learn_v those_o name_n and_o word_n of_o art_n that_o be_v use_v in_o school_n which_o at_o first_o be_v so_o hard_o to_o i_o that_o i_o can_v not_o understand_v they_o but_o be_v fain_o to_o guess_v at_o the_o sense_n of_o they_o by_o the_o whole_a context_n and_o so_o write_v they_o down_o as_o i_o find_v they_o in_o those_o
