be_v by_o the_o persuasion_n of_o some_o that_o have_v the_o true_a taste_n of_o it_o for_o i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o publish_v it_o as_o yet_o but_o take_v it_o into_o a_o serious_a consideration_n i_o think_v it_o not_o convenient_a any_o long_a to_o obscure_v the_o reflection_n of_o such_o a_o true_a light_n and_o as_o it_o be_v truth_n so_o it_o be_v so_o plain_a and_o easy_a that_o any_o one_o although_o he_o can_v never_o before_o obtain_v to_o cut_v out_o a_o ship_n rig_n may_n by_o this_o way_n rigg_n any_o ship_n small_a or_o great_a with_o a_o week_n practice_n or_o less_o but_o if_o it_o be_v half_a so_o easy_a again_o as_o it_o be_v which_o be_v almost_o impossible_a yet_o i_o say_v if_o it_o be_v so_o easy_a it_o be_v possible_a a_o man_n may_v have_v the_o

i_o can_v have_v show_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o curiosity_n in_o the_o model_n and_o have_v draw_v they_o perfect_o like_o a_o ship_n for_o for_o matter_n of_o draught_a they_o and_o this_o way_n of_o rigging_n be_v most_o certain_a &_o will_v hold_v true_a in_o all_o vessel_n small_a or_o great_a but_o those_o rule_n by_o way_n of_o proportion_n former_o print_v can_v hold_v but_o will_v deceive_v those_o that_o trust_v to_o they_o few_o or_o none_o go_v beyond_o i_o but_o i_o find_v it_o not_o convenient_a for_o at_o first_o i_o do_v do_v so_o and_o some_o that_o i_o learn_v be_v so_o wise_a they_o can_v almost_o have_v leave_v the_o goose_n to_o run_v after_o the_o feather_n that_o be_v they_o be_v so_o affect_v with_o the_o draught_n of_o the_o ship_n they_o mind_v that_o more_o than_o the_o substance_n that_o belong_v to_o it_o so_o i_o have_v now_o in_o every_o respect_n lay_v it_o down_o in_o a_o more_o plain_a manner_n and_o as_o i_o find_v this_o book_n to_o be_v accept_v of_o
