than_o the_o bishop_n for_o the_o bishop_n be_v tie_v to_o one_o colour_n of_o the_o field_n out_o of_o which_o he_o can_v pass_v but_o the_o knight_n pass_v through_o all_o the_o house_n of_o the_o

in_o the_o field_n among_o the_o pawn_n and_o therefore_o the_o gamester_n ought_v to_o be_v very_o careful_a of_o he_o for_o if_o it_o shall_v happen_v that_o the_o black_a king_n lose_v his_o bishop_n pawn_n to_o gain_v the_o white_a king_n pawn_n the_o black_a king_n loss_n be_v the_o great_a because_o he_o can_v after_o this_o accident_n make_v a_o rank_n of_o pawn_n of_o three_o of_o a_o rank_n on_o that_o side_n of_o the_o field_n for_o his_o own_o security_n which_o be_v a_o great_a disadvantage_n so_o that_o it_o be_v better_a for_o either_o of_o the_o king_n to_o lose_v his_o own_o pawn_n than_o his_o bishop_n but_o if_o you_o shall_v object_v that_o the_o king_n which_o lose_v his_o bishop_n pawn_n may_v relieve_v himself_o on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o field_n turn_v to_o his_o queen_n rook_n quarter_n where_o he_o shall_v have_v pawn_n to_o succour_v he_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a he_o may_v do_v so_o but_o he_o will_v be_v a_o long_a time_n in_o
