which_o we_o call_v the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o and_o first_o the_o heaven_n where_o we_o have_v the_o high_a or_o three_o heaven_n the_o bless_a abode_n of_o saint_n and_o

where_o be_v the_o sea_n the_o confluence_n of_o water_n and_o habitation_n of_o fish_n and_o dry_a land_n the_o house_n and_o nurse_n of_o man_n and_o beast_n last_o there_o be_v the_o airy_a region_n in_o which_o the_o bird_n do_v play_v and_o sport_n themselves_o and_o without_o which_o no_o breathe_a animal_n can_v live_v in_o this_o discourse_n you_o have_v three_o sort_n of_o period_n

below_o the_o line_n you_o have_v also_o comma_n and_o sub-comma's_a and_o all_o little_a enough_o such_o a_o case_n as_o this_o be_v seldom_o occur_v the_o great_a member_n be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o lesser_a the_o lesser_a from_o the_o least_o by_o proportionable_a stop_n doubtless_o a_o sub-comma_n will_v be_v of_o great_a use_n in_o such_o period_n as_o this_o and_o to_o distinguish_v sentence_n that_o be_v under_o the_o second_o head_n for_o a_o comma_n i_o can_v hearty_o wish_v some_o person_n of_o authority_n in_o the_o world_n will_v assert_v it_o as_o a_o key_n to_o this_o whole_a discourse_n i_o only_o beg_v some_o point_n to_o be_v certain_a i_o do_v not_o much_o matter_n which_o from_o which_o all_o the_o other_o point_n may_v take_v their_o compass_n as_o in_o

above_o do_v rise_v fall_v or_o keep_v their_o pitch_n so_o i_o will_v choose_v a_o sub-colon_n certain_a and_o to_o be_v use_v only_o to_o distinguish_v membra_fw-la dividentia_fw-la in_o ordinary_a

example_n i_o purposely_o omit_v to_o say_v any_o thing_n of_o other_o point_n because_o many_o grammarian_n have_v speak_v plain_o enough_o to_o they_o i_o offer_v these_o rule_n only_o as_o a_o
