for_o the_o poor_a people_n not_o have_v bread_n to_o feed_v upon_o do_v sustain_v and_o nourish_v themselves_o with_o such_o infectious_a victual_n and_o then_o when_o the_o sun_n have_v heat_v the_o

of_o all_o i_o will_v say_v this_o more_o that_o if_o the_o spectre_n do_v proceed_v in_o iseland_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o air_n which_o be_v perpetual_o thick_a and_o gross_a there_o in_o that_o
