dissimulation_n and_o who_o be_v great_a cousiner_n and_o decey●●ers_n a_o brief_a and_o true_a discourse_n contain_v the_o certain_a possession_n and_o dispossession_n of_o 7_o person_n in_o one_o

of_o the_o story_n in_o respect_n hereof_o i_o will_v digest_v this_o whole_a discourse_n into_o 5_o principal_a head_n or_o chief_a place_n which_o may_v serve_v fit_o both_o to_o give_v more_o
