who_o may_v hereafter_o travel_v the_o same_o place_n with_o like_a design_n to_o publish_v a_o catalogue_n of_o all_o not_o native_a of_o england_n that_o i_o have_v observe_v but_o consider_v the_o

give_v myself_o that_o liberty_n which_o many_o traveller_n be_v wont_a to_o take_v and_o the_o common_a proverb_n seem_v to_o allow_v they_o and_o for_o what_o i_o write_v from_o the_o relation_n of_o other_o though_o i_o will_v not_o warrant_v it_o for_o certain_a yet_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v most_o likely_a and_o probable_a what_o bird_n beast_n fish_n and_o infect_v i_o observe_v abroad_o whether_o common_a to_o we_o in_o england_n or_o peculiar_a to_o other_o country_n i_o have_v forbear_v to_o set_v down_o because_o the_o take_a notice_n and_o describe_v of_o they_o be_v the_o particular_a design_n and_o business_n of_o that_o excellent_a person_n mr._n francis_n willughby_n late_o decease_v and_o he_o have_v prepare_v store_n of_o material_n for_o a_o history_n of_o

there_o be_v many_o itineraries_n and_o description_n of_o it_o extant_a in_o print_n i_o think_v it_o less_o needful_a to_o write_v much_o concern_v it_o as_o for_o spain_n it_o be_v a_o country_n
