many_o of_o our_o acquaintance_n and_o friend_n but_o that_o our_o name_n may_v be_v among_o those_o who_o shall_v not_o outlive_v this_o it_o be_v true_a it_o may_v be_v you_o shall_v live_v to_o

yet_o a_o few_o year_n more_o i_o can_v look_v round_o on_o this_o assembly_n but_o i_o must_v conclude_v that_o of_o all_o this_o number_n it_o be_v past_a doubt_n but_o some_o one_o or_o more_o
