counterfeit_a fish_n which_o have_v say_v i_o shall_v only_o add_v and_o that_o out_o of_o my_o own_o experience_n that_o i_o do_v believe_v a_o bullhead_n with_o his_o guill-fin_n cut_v off_o at_o

after_o all_o there_o be_v a_o better_a way_n of_o angle_a with_o a_o minnow_n than_o perhaps_o be_v fit_a either_o to_o teach_v or_o to_o practise_v to_o which_o i_o shall_v only_o add_v that_o a_o
