much_o more_o difficult_a to_o find_v out_o any_o new_a matter_n than_o to_o give_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o same_o i_o believe_v the_o reader_n when_o he_o remember_v how_o sir_n peter_n in_o his_o

at_o the_o first_o it_o be_v well_o if_o we_o do_v not_o take_v he_o oft_o trip_v before_o he_o come_v to_o his_o journey_n end_n and_o for_o his_o writing_n again_o this_o second_o time_n he_o have_v a_o excellent_a reason_n for_o he_o say_v pag._n 16._o i_o have_v publish_v another_o book_n since_o and_o have_v therein_o tax_v he_o already_o for_o not_o be_v just_a to_o his_o word_n so_o that_o
