i_o therefore_o i_o say_v plain_n i_o be_o more_o noble_a than_o other_o of_o you_o twain_o now_o that_o be_v a_o foolish_a reason_n so_o god_n i_o save_v for_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n thou_o woldy_v have_v every_o best_a fyssh_n &_o other_o foul_a than_o to_o be_v more_o noble_a of_o birth_n than_o a_o man_n for_o man_n have_v more_o need_n of_o bodily_a cover_a than_o they_o have_v for_o
