which_o if_o it_o shall_v happen_v before_o i_o be_v resolve_v will_v breed_v a_o great_a doubt_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o bold_a to_o ask_v it_o that_o be_v if_o the_o length_n of_o a_o ground_n be_v more_o perch_n then_o be_v express_v in_o any_o of_o the_o table_n how_o shall_v i_o find_v it_o when_o no_o table_n reach_v so_o far_o book_n sur._n you_o do_v well_o to_o cast_v all_o doubt_n if_o the_o length_n be_v more_o than_o the_o table_n will_v yield_v whereof_o indeed_o the_o most_o be_v four_o score_n perch_v take_v first_o 80._o perch_n out_o of_o the_o whole_a sum_n and_o then_o seek_v the_o breadth_n in_o the_o table_n as_o before_o be_v show_v you_o shall_v find_v the_o content_a of_o that_o part_n then_o if_o the_o breadth_n be_v more_o than_o the_o remanent_fw-la of_o the_o length_n let_v the_o breadth_n be_v the_o length_n and_o the_o remanent_fw-la of_o the_o length_n the_o breadth_n and_o seek_v they_o likewise_o in_o the_o table_n and_o what_o arise_v of_o both_o the_o number_n add_v together_o as_o for_o example_n a_o ground_n be_v 119._o perch_n in_o length_n and_o 67._o in_o breadth_n the_o whole_a length_n be_v not_o in_o the_o table_n to_o be_v
