in_o any_o place_n and_o the_o pestilence_n be_v as_o it_o be_v sow_v among_o the_o people_n the_o sick_a continual_o not_o only_a breath_n out_o of_o their_o mouth_n but_o send_v out_o of_o their_o

country_n and_o more_o in_o narrow_a street_n and_o lane_n of_o those_o city_n than_o in_o open_a place_n because_o usual_o there_o be_v narrow_a and_o little_a room_n which_o be_v soon_o fill_v
