i_o know_v not_o but_o well_o i_o note_v all_o your_o word_n be_v per_fw-la allegoriam_fw-la but_o sir_n according_a to_o my_o lodgicke_n i_o will_v approve_v that_o as_o long_o as_o the_o learned_a

unless_o you_o will_v make_v a_o distinction_n touch_v the_o person_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o property_n of_o the_o other_o and_o that_o you_o can_v for_o that_o they_o both_o be_v so_o fast_a

to_o what_o perfection_n you_o please_v or_o else_o you_o will_v not_o give_v over_o and_o therefore_o as_o i_o remember_v suetonius_n cornelius_n suetonius_n show_v a_o notable_a example_n to_o the_o
