do_v allow_v of_o they_o as_o thing_n commendable_a also_o by_o they_o many_o poor_a young_a brother_n without_o land_n as_o common_o they_o be_v all_o do_v by_o the_o plough_n maintain_v himself_o

to_o speak_v brief_o all_o learn_n that_o tend_v to_o action_n in_o the_o state_n either_o civil_a or_o marshal_n vincent_n now_o you_o seem_v to_o talk_v of_o great_a mystery_n but_o we_o gentleman_n

i_o think_v it_o hard_o and_o therefore_o poor_a man_n that_o put_v so_o many_o unapte_a child_n to_o the_o school_n do_v nothing_o else_o but_o offer_v they_o loss_n of_o time_n for_o do_v you_o

entertaininge_v and_o spare_v do_v maintain_v their_o honour_n and_o worship_n valentine_n you_o speak_v well_o for_o these_o sort_n of_o servant_n i_o lust_v not_o yet_o a_o while_n to_o reply_v i_o
