that_o the_o sun_n offend_v not_o so_o much_o and_o the_o shower_n that_o fall_v from_o they_o refresh_v both_o the_o air_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o moisten_v likewise_o how_o hot_a soever_o it_o

that_o the_o name_n of_o peru_n be_v not_o very_o ancient_a nor_o common_a to_o all_o that_o country_n it_o have_v be_v usual_a in_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o new_a world_n to_o give_v name_n to_o
