and_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o providence_n because_o true_a history_n through_o the_o frequent_a satiety_n and_o similitude_n of_o thing_n work_v a_o distaste_n and_o misprision_n in_o the_o

and_o ever_o there_o be_v and_o have_v be_v much_o life_n and_o vigour_n in_o parable_n because_o argument_n can_v be_v so_o sensible_a nor_o example_n so_o fit_a there_o be_v another_o use_n of_o

be_v any_o mystical_a sense_n couch_v under_o the_o ancient_a fable_n of_o the_o poet_n may_v admit_v some_o doubt_n and_o indeed_o for_o our_o part_n we_o incline_v to_o this_o opinion_n as_o to_o

schoolboy_n and_o grammarian_n and_o so_o be_v embase_v that_o we_o shall_v therefore_o make_v a_o slight_a judgement_n upon_o they_o but_o contrariwise_o because_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o writing_n which_o recite_v those_o fable_n of_o all_o the_o writing_n of_o man_n next_o to_o sacred_a writ_n be_v the_o most_o ancient_a and_o that_o the_o fable_n themselves_o be_v far_o more_o

neither_o can_v the_o emulation_n and_o jealousy_n of_o gregory_n the_o first_o otherwise_o a_o excellent_a man_n who_o design_v to_o extinguish_v and_o obliterate_v heathen_a author_n and_z

which_o otherwise_o have_v utter_o perish_v and_o be_v extinguish_v and_o of_o late_a in_o our_o age_n we_o may_v likewise_o see_v the_o jesuite_n who_o partly_o in_o themselves_o and_o partly_o by_o
