in_o the_o defence_n of_o plato_n &_o his_o sect_n call_v academia_n we_o have_v express_v in_o our_o four_o book_n entitle_v academike_n but_o yet_o nevertheless_o so_o much_o it_o lack_v y_fw-mi ●_o

who_o be_v well_o learned_a and_o instruct_v with_o perfect_a eloquence_n can_v endyte_n philosophye_n with_o a_o good_a trade_n and_o order_n for_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a sort_n of_o man_n
