who_o name_n be_v insert_v only_o by_o the_o way_n nor_o do_v that_o hinder_a at_o all_o which_o we_o read_v there_o about_o serpent_n i_o confess_v it_o to_o be_v most_o true_a indeed_o if_o speak_v

of_o they_o be_v very_o famous_a man_n and_o most_o expert_a naturalist_n live_v some_o time_n in_o britain_n but_o error_n of_o this_o kind_n as_o we_o see_v also_o in_o solinus_n concern_v bird_n
