of_o the_o college_n while_o the_o quack_n and_o mountebank_n of_o these_o time_n as_o they_o never_o be_v want_v in_o that_o case_n impudent_o assume_v to_o themselves_o the_o repute_n of_o those_o

credit_n the_o empiric_n lie_v at_o the_o catch_n have_v make_v it_o their_o business_n either_o real_o to_o steal_v the_o receipt_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o for_o their_o design_n to_o
