northwest_n passage_n it_o have_v be_v so_o thorough_o search_v into_o by_o our_o nation_n that_o can_v give_v no_o encouragement_n to_o a_o far_a trial_n save_o that_o story_n man_n tell_v of_o a_o

of_o exchange_n to_o receive_v money_n as_o he_o pretend_v to_o come_v into_o england_n but_o how_o likely_a it_o be_v that_o he_o will_v leave_v those_o rich_a part_n of_o america_n which_o he_o

this_o new_a world_n reach_v by_o the_o north_n part_n even_o to_o the_o northwardly_a province_n of_o the_o empire_n of_o japan_n or_o tartary_n for_o i_o find_v that_o the_o wind_n that_o blow_v
