of_o amphitruo_n for_o it_o be_v that_o hercules_n which_o herodotus_n speak_v of_o and_o then_o say_v he_o who_o can_v choose_v but_o wonder_n at_o that_o of_o bishop_n usher_n in_o his_o annal_n

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d now_o i_o think_v that_o the_o archbishop_n be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o not_o be_v so_o profound_a a_o critic_n as_o to_o discover_v that_o herodotus_n be_v to_o
