the_o suspicion_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o book_n he_o frank_o tell_v i_o and_o assure_v i_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o story_n that_o in_o the_o year_n 47_o the_o king_n have_v draw_v up_o the_o

he_o question_n sir_n john_n memory_n and_o talk_v of_o his_o youth_n to_o invalidate_v the_o story_n but_o that_o be_v so_o great_a a_o affront_n to_o all_o the_o young_a gentleman_n and_o
