so_o that_o if_o he_o may_v but_o fare_v well_o in_o his_o diet_n he_o care_v not_o what_o the_o world_n can_v say_v and_o if_o necessity_n source_n he_o to_o it_o he_o will_v sell_v his_o cloak_n

that_o spain_n be_v more_o barren_a than_o france_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a drought_n and_o small_a store_n of_o rain_n that_o fall_v there_o wherefore_o some_o year_n there_o come_v corn_n
