some_o where_o speak_v of_o who_o have_v always_o in_o her_o mouth_n o_o the_o impudence_n of_o woman_n now_o a-days_o it_o seem_v that_o this_o author_n do_v never_o walk_v about_o bethlehem_n

extravagant_o and_o in_o my_o judgement_n it_o be_v equal_o useful_a and_o well-spent_a time_n to_o dive_v into_o their_o mean_v as_o to_o trace_v the_o notion_n of_o a_o bedlamite_n mystical_a
