be_o i_o your_o enemy_n because_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o truth_n it_o be_v truth_n you_o have_v give_v i_o a_o very_a fair_a character_n with_o which_o a_o great_a many_o man_n in_o the_o world_n

this_o sir_n be_v so_o very_o harsh_a a_o expression_n that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v i_o can_v forget_v it_o if_o the_o now_o lord_n bishop_n of_o salisbury_n have_v say_v it_o to_o my_o
