and_o in_o what_o relate_v to_o this_o play_n it_o be_v folly_n in_o i_o to_o write_v at_o all_o great_a to_o write_v no_o better_o and_o chief_o to_o print_v what_o i_o have_v write_v if_o in_o any_o

from_o their_o enemy_n and_o indeed_o i_o may_v say_v it_o be_v natural_a in_o i_o to_o claim_v this_o from_o you_o because_o your_o family_n have_v vouchsafe_v to_o be_v the_o patron_n of_o i_o for_o
