with_o their_o mouth_n so_o hard_o that_o as_o one_o observe_v it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o they_o suck_v out_o all_o their_o brain_n and_o leave_v they_o for_o ever_o after_o empty_v skull_v

to_o her_o husband_n tail_n and_o you_o need_v not_o wonder_v at_o their_o backward_a modesty_n some_o count_v they_o natural_o hospitable_a but_o if_o they_o be_v so_o it_o be_v after_o such_o a_o

that_o whenever_o two_o army_n meet_v in_o battle_n the_o one_o must_v run_v for_o both_o can_v conquer_v and_o since_o one_o must_v give_v way_n why_o not_o at_o the_o begin_n before_o much_o

provide_v with_o better_a leg_n to_o run_v than_o hand_n or_o heart_n to_o sight_n therefore_o they_o do_v common_o run_v and_o run_v betimes_o lest_o some_o wound_n in_o their_o leg_n shall_v hinder_v their_o nimble_a retreat_n this_o make_v a_o old_a experience_a officer_n who_o know_v the_o way_n of_o the_o reason_v of_o these_o brute_n cause_v some_o regiment_n of_o dragoon_n to_o

will_v not_o or_o can_v not_o run_v and_o since_o one_o party_n must_v go_v off_o at_o last_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o they_o discreet_o run_v all_o away_o immediate_o
