at_o his_o fall_n and_o many_o great_a man_n stand_v amaze_v and_o fear_v seize_v on_o many_o because_o of_o the_o great_a sudden_a fall_n thereof_o and_o as_o this_o great_a tree_n fall_v i_o see_v under_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o young_a tall_a tree_n that_o stand_v near_o the_o other_o and_o it_o be_v much_o like_a to_o fall_v present_o after_o and_o be_v almost_o down_o on_o the_o one_o
