rope_n which_o be_v fasten_v to_o my_o arm_n and_o thigh_n now_o the_o woman_n which_o be_v present_a be_v interpreter_n begin_v to_o persuade_v i_o to_o yield_v and_o confess_v the_o faith_n of_o

so_o miserable_a a_o death_n but_o i_o beseech_v almighty_a god_n to_o ease_v i_o of_o my_o pain_n and_o to_o forgive_v i_o my_o sin_n answer_v she_o that_o though_o they_o have_v power_n over_o my_o
