overture_n of_o that_o discovery_n but_o pitch_v the_o place_n a_o little_a more_o to_o the_o north_n in_o the_o same_o region_n do_v with_o so_o much_o accurateness_n clear_v this_o question_n that_o

all_o opposition_n until_o upon_o a_o strict_a examination_n some_o doubt_n do_v arise_v and_o afterward_o multiply_v to_o suggest_v a_o fear_n whether_o he_o may_v not_o have_v mistake_v his_o
