man_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v armour_n sufficient_a to_o defend_v their_o body_n from_o death_n whereas_o in_o the_o former_a time_n afore_o mention_v wound_n be_v the_o worst_a to_o have_v be_v

simple_a reason_n the_o which_o can_v just_o be_v deny_v it_o may_v appear_v how_o thing_n in_o time_n past_a and_o now_o in_o these_o our_o time_n do_v differ_v which_o may_v and_o will_v i_o hope_v

in_o more_o readiness_n for_o the_o woorkman_n to_o hue_n and_o pullish_a to_o a_o great_a perfection_n it_o do_v cause_v i_o to_o remember_v one_o cornelius_n a_o gentleman_n and_o a_o soldier_n in_o the_o french_a king_n service_n who_o can_v have_v play_v of_o a_o lute_n or_o a_o gittern_n excellent_a well_o but_o his_o condition_n be_v such_o that_o if_o the_o best_a lord_n or_o lady_n in_o

and_o yet_o be_v he_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o have_v play_v without_o intreatye_n as_o thus_o if_o any_o of_o his_o acquaintance_n have_v take_v the_o lute_n or_o gittern_n in_o hand_n the_o worse_a
