maintain_v abroad_o whitebread_n but_o my_o lord_n i_o suppose_v there_o be_v some_o difference_n between_o charitable_a act_n to_o a_o man_n in_o want_n and_o a_o scholar_n and_o trust_v he_o with_o

from_o saint_n omers_n for_o his_o misdemenour_n that_o i_o shall_v show_v all_o my_o letter_n now_o my_o lord_n i_o have_v have_v a_o thousand_o letter_n take_v from_o i_o not_o any_o of_o these_o
