overt_a and_o apparent_a act_n that_o may_v discover_v and_o trace_v the_o offender_n but_o by_o poison_n the_o cup_n itself_o of_o prince_n will_v scarce_o serve_v in_o regard_n of_o many_o poison_n

of_o 21_o hen._n 8._o that_o where_o the_o purpose_n be_v to_o poison_n one_o man_n there_o be_v poison_n put_v into_o barm_n or_o yeast_n and_o with_o that_o barm_n pottage_n or_o grewel_n be_v

of_o the_o offence_n now_o to_o the_o proof_n for_o the_o matter_n of_o proof_n you_o may_v consider_v that_o impoysonment_n of_o all_o offence_n be_v most_o secret_a even_o so_o secret_a that_o if_o

of_o the_o figgs_n upon_o the_o tree_n which_o her_o husband_n be_v wont_a to_o gather_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n who_o can_v have_v impeach_v parasetis_n for_o the_o poison_n of_o the_o one_o side_n

unto_o overbury_n who_o peruse_v they_o copy_v they_o register_v they_o make_v table-talk_a of_o they_o as_o they_o think_v good_a so_o i_o will_v undertake_v the_o time_n be_v when_o overbury_n
