of_o man_n concern_v the_o two_o side_n that_o be_v now_o a_o end_n in_o this_o land_n i_o have_v observe_v it_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o main_a engine_n which_o the_o devil_n make_v use_v of_o against_o the_o right_a side_n since_o the_o late_a trouble_n begin_v to_o seduce_v whole_a parish_n by_o several_a rot_a priest_n and_o that_o concern_v the_o lawfulness_n or_o unlawfulnesse_n of_o

too_o tedious_a i_o shall_v contract_v they_o as_o much_o as_o i_o may_v this_o book_n be_v a_o book_n of_o proverb_n and_o a_o proverb_n be_v a_o short_a smooth_a pithy_a sentence_n in_o which_o the_o author_n sum_v up_o a_o large_a matter_n in_o a_o few_o word_n as_o man_n use_v to_o change_v silver_n for_o gold_n that_o it_o may_v be_v the_o more_o easy_o carry_v the_o whole_a book_n of_o
