i_o will_v not_o stir_v a_o foot_n for_o i_o have_v then_o no_o business_n at_o cambridge_n and_o if_o a_o man_n of_o my_o quality_n and_o profession_n shall_v submit_v himself_o to_o travel_v about_o

and_o to_o lay_v hold_n of_o i_o for_o i_o be_v the_o malignant_a and_o only_a man_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o take_v and_o upon_o this_o i_o turn_v myself_o towards_o the_o party_n to_o who_o he_o
