alexander_n army_n which_o be_v call_v a_o fly_a army_n for_o his_o expedition_n in_o overrun_v asia_n and_o yet_o as_o i_o take_v it_o there_o be_v no_o record_n of_o alexander_n run_v away_o from_o

ship_n it_o be_v well_a he_o tell_v we_o he_o believe_v so_o for_o by_o the_o shallowness_n of_o his_o reason_n hitherto_o a_o little_a matter_n will_v make_v he_o believe_v any_o thing_n in_o state_n

why_o that_o ship_n may_v do_v if_o they_o be_v such_o creature_n as_o this_o fresh_a water_n soldier_n believe_v they_o be_v that_o have_v leg_n and_o hand_n that_o can_v put_v off_o their_o cap_n

which_o be_v very_o often_o ob●ected_v through_o the_o play_n he_o find_v fault_n that_o in_o a_o scene_n or_o a_o speech_n the_o poet_n use_v the_o word_n monarch_n king_n prince_z sovereign_a
