what_o true_o and_o apt_a emblem_n can_v you_o give_v of_o he_o than_o of_o a_o new_a ship_n launch_v out_o into_o the_o main_a ocean_n without_o helm_n and_o ballast_n or_o pilot_n to_o steer_v she_o

may_v have_v presume_v upon_o a_o long_a life_n as_o well_o as_o himself_o and_o that_o upon_o the_o same_o reason_n too_o or_o let_v i_o beg_v such_o a_o one_o to_o look_v upon_o this_o hearse_n
