with_o a_o woodcock_n care_v not_o what_o become_v of_o the_o body_n when_o she_o have_v eat_v up_o his_o brain_n or_o as_o huntsman_n do_v with_o fox_n fling_v the_o carcase_n into_o some_o ditch_n or_o on_o some_o dunghill_n after_o they_o have_v strip_v his_o skin_n over_o his_o ear_n beside_o these_o trick_n i_o have_v hear_v that_o when_o a_o young_a gentleman_n be_v arrest_v and_o have_v competent_a allowance_n from_o his_o friend_n as_o weekly_o his_o diet_n and_o his_o lodging_n discharge_v they_o continual_o will_v certify_v his_o friend_n or_o his_o father_n of_o the_o least_o

will_v give_v be_v feed_n well_o intelligence_n to_o their_o adversary_n whether_o they_o mean_v to_o put_v in_o bail_n or_o no_o to_o they_o or_o what_o they_o determine_v to_o get_v their_o

of_o dead_a man_n and_o scarce_o let_v the_o coffin_n go_v out_o of_o their_o gate_n before_o his_o friend_n have_v pay_v his_o fee_n therefore_o if_o these_o report_n be_v true_a it_o be_v first_o most_o abominable_a for_o they_o to_o act_v and_o most_o lamentable_a to_o hear_v therefore_o good_a sir_n let_v i_o have_v your_o advice_n and_o opinion_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o true_o without_o any_o fallacy_n or_o equivocation_n whether_o these_o thing_n i_o late_o be_v certify_v of_o be_v true_a or_o no_o after_o a_o little_a pause_v he_o begin_v to_o resolve_v i_o in_o this_o manner_n indeed_o sir_n some_o of_o these_o device_n i_o have_v find_v practise_v upon_o myself_o but_o for_o some_o other_o that_o you_o have_v make_v mention_n of_o i_o will_v not_o bold_o warrant_v to_o be_v true_a but_o you_o have_v hear_v no_o more_o report_v than_o i_o have_v hear_v speak_v but_o this_o i_o can_v justify_v to_o be_v true_a as_o a_o true_a token_n and_o sign_n of_o their_o wolvish_a disposition_n and_o ingluvious_a appetite_n there_o can_v a_o dish_n of_o meat_n come_v into_o the_o gate_n but_o they_o must_v and_o will_v have_v a_o share_n of_o it_o nay_o and_o think_v

man_n hate_v their_o society_n will_v neither_o give_v they_o entertainment_n or_o invite_v they_o to_o any_o piece_n of_o meat_n he_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v lock_v up_o all_o that_o week_n that_o keeper_n wait_v and_o do_v he_o some_o villainous_a mischief_n whensoever_o he_o convenient_o can_v contrive_v it_o or_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o any_o young_a novice_n that_o have_v no_o execution_n against_o he_o be_v pliant_a to_o their_o humour_n they_o will_v use_v he_o with_o as_o great_a a_o respect_n as_o any_o nobleman_n heir_n if_o they_o see_v he_o profuse_a and_o riotous_a they_o will_v not_o leave_v urge_v he_o to_o go_v abroad_o with_o they_o to_o take_v some_o composition_n with_o his_o creditor_n when_o heaven_n know_v it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o good_a they_o purpose_v to_o he_o but_o themselves_o for_o they_o use_v he_o as_o angler_n do_v the_o fish_n give_v he_o a_o bait_n but_o it_o be_v for_o his_o bane_n so_o these_o be_v kind_a but_o it_o be_v for_o some_o benefit_n they_o expect_v from_o he_o for_o they_o will_v never_o go_v abroad_o with_o any_o of_o these_o under_o two_o shilling_n or_o half_a a_o crown_n if_o they_o stay_v but_o a_o hour_n

with_o money_n and_o their_o belly_n with_o good_a cheer_n and_o bring_v they_o home_o at_o night_n as_o bare_a of_o money_n as_o a_o sheep_n be_v of_o wool_n that_o all_o day_n long_o have_v be_v
