the_o gunner_n may_v keep_v that_o thickness_n or_o dispart_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o take_v his_o level_n by_o the_o mettle_n as_o the_o fashion_n be_v until_o thereby_o he_o discern_v the_o mark_n

whereby_o those_o that_o fall_n on_o their_o face_n will_v hardly_o elcape_v but_o shoot_v over_o profit_v nothing_o at_o all_o but_o be_v mere_o lose_v to_o amend_v a_o wide_a shot_n if_o it_o go_v
