that_o of_o big_a body_n and_o round_a substance_n the_o manner_n dear_a whereof_o i_o must_v relate_v to_o correct_v the_o mistake_n which_o be_v most_o common_a in_o picture_v the_o elephant_n who_o two_o great_a tooth_n be_v common_o set_v in_o his_o low_a law_n carry_v they_o upward_o as_o a_o boar_n do_v his_o tusk_n which_o be_v contrary_a for_o he_o carry_v they_o downward_o and_o with_o
