these_o be_v company_n enough_o to_o entertain_v a_o man_n solitude_n and_o to_o supply_v the_o want_n of_o the_o noise_n of_o the_o world_n in_o which_o there_o be_v common_o so_o much_o folly_n and_o discord_n that_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v torment_v to_o death_n with_o instrustrument_n of_o cruelty_n which_o be_v the_o worst_a thing_n that_o can_v happen_v to_o they_o they_o must_v have_v

under_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o executioner_n and_o endure_v the_o same_o degree_n of_o torment_n without_o the_o comfort_n of_o die_v in_o a_o brave_a cause_n or_o of_o be_v assure_v of_o a_o
