a_o ancient_a one_o to_o distinguish_v these_o you_o must_v take_v notice_n that_o learned_a man_n do_v conceive_v the_o manner_n of_o coin_v especial_o great_a medal_n be_v ancient_o to_o melt_v

see_v upon_o some_o medal_n whence_o it_o come_v that_o most_o of_o the_o medal_n have_v cleft_n in_o the_o edge_n cause_v by_o the_o force_n of_o the_o instrument_n which_o the_o cast_v one_o do_v not_o well_o represent_v beside_o the_o melt_a metal_n do_v not_o so_o well_o and_o distinct_o receive_v the_o minute_n traict_v of_o the_o stamp_n again_o be_v the_o spaud_n never_o so_o fine_a
