when_o she_o tell_v this_o story_n for_o any_o man_n will_v think_v it_o a_o strange_a neglect_n in_o self-preservation_n a_o thing_n to_o be_v prefer_v before_o all_o other_o shall_v one_o person_n

the_o intent_n of_o this_o blind_a story_n as_o i_o conceive_v be_v only_o to_o show_v you_o that_o the_o fall_v out_o of_o lover_n be_v the_o renew_n of_o love_n she_o say_v we_o fall_v out_o but_o

almost_o the_o half_a of_o what_o she_o be_v accuse_v with_o so_o that_o now_o gentleman_n let_v i_o have_v but_o fair_a play_n since_o mrs._n elizabeth_n cellier_n have_v own_v one_o part_n of_o what_o be_v charge_v against_o she_o let_v she_o have_v her_o due_a that_o be_v let_v she_o be_v believe_v so_o far_o and_o then_o be_v so_o kind_a as_o to_o let_v the_o oath_n of_o 17_o or_o 18_o

there_o why_o she_o say_v in_o all_o likelihood_n it_o be_v myself_o true_o she_o guest_n very_o right_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o she_o know_v it_o to_o be_v so_o but_o who_o be_v i_o why_o a_o certain_a villain_n that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n she_o entertain_v in_o her_o house_n upon_o a_o inducement_n to_o credit_v i_o where_o be_v now_o the_o jealousy_n of_o womankind_n to_o trust_v

yet_o she_o be_v induce_v to_o credit_v i_o still_o now_o to_o the_o meal-tub_n she_o confess_v the_o plot_n be_v put_v in_o her_o meal-tub_n better_o two_o dead_a plot_n then_o one_o live_a rat_n in_o such_o a_o place_n but_o how_o come_v it_o there_o why_o i_o myself_o give_v she_o a_o paper_n she_o give_v it_o her_o maid_n and_o the_o maid_n put_v it_o into_o the_o meal-tub_n who_o
