how_o or_o any_o thing_n else_o for_o a_o reason_n and_o the_o people_n will_v have_v vote_v he_o into_o canterbury_n because_o he_o be_v plump_a and_o well-liking_a and_o fat_a than_o other_o

i_o do_v now_o as_o to_o this_o character_n i_o do_v not_o know_v whether_o the_o doctor_n will_v venture_v it_o to_o the_o poll_n as_o he_o do_v his_o reason_n and_o judgement_n but_o if_o he_o
