as_o by_o the_o book_n apparel_n and_o behaviour_n we_o give_v a_o guess_n of_o what_o country_n a_o man_n be_v so_o the_o speech_n ought_v more_o manifest_o to_o bewray_v it_o guaz._n the_o gascon_n

and_o manner_n and_o for_o so_o much_o as_o we_o begin_v this_o discourse_n of_o the_o tongue_n by_o a_o similitude_n of_o money_n we_o will_v end_v it_o with_o the_o same_o and_o conclude_v that_o as_o money_n by_o mean_a of_o the_o coin_n have_v a_o public_a stamp_n set_v upon_o it_o whereby_o it_o be_v know_v where_o it_o be_v make_v so_o our_o speech_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o mark_n upon_o

now_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v more_o deep_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v convenient_a for_o education_n and_o manner_n requisite_a in_o civil_a conversation_n for_o diogenes_n use_v to_o say_v that_o

have_v then_o set_v down_o in_o our_o civil_a conversation_n y_fw-fr e_o purity_n of_o speech_n we_o must_v now_o consider_v y_o it_o that_o be_v not_o sufficient_a without_o the_o purity_n and_o
