sit_v up_o to_o play_v a_o set_n at_o maw_n if_o they_o think_v that_o the_o sight_n of_o their_o companion_n will_v ease_v their_o grief_n they_o can_v have_v that_o neither_o for_o their_o delight_n

see_v therefore_o it_o be_v so_o heinous_a a_o matter_n for_o one_o private_a man_n to_o be_v unfaithful_a to_o another_o how_o great_a treachery_n &_o treason_n shall_v we_o think_v it_o be_v to_o

man_n will_v fain_o be_v account_v pitiful_a if_o a_o gamester_n be_v of_o any_o wealth_n than_o he_o play_v away_o nothing_o but_o his_o own_o though_o poor_a man_n loose_v their_o customer_n &_o
