of_o number_n spain_n be_v a_o nation_n thin_a sow_v of_o people_n partly_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o sterility_n of_o the_o soil_n and_o partly_o because_o their_o native_n be_v exhaust_v by_o so_o

to_o enter_v into_o a_o war_n with_o spain_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v i_o know_v no_o such_o thing_n the_o mint_n beat_v well_o and_o the_o pulse_n of_o the_o people_n heart_n beat_v well_o but_o there_o be_v another_o point_n that_o take_v away_o quite_o this_o objection_n for_o whereas_o war_n be_v general_o cause_n of_o poverty_n or_o consumption_n on_o the_o contrary_a part_n the_o
