this_o to_o do_v be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o very_a kyrnell_n and_o principal_a part_n or_o as_o the_o marrow_n and_o the_o rest_n but_o the_o bone_n or_o unprofitable_a shell_n or_o according_a as_o

and_o from_o both_o which_o proceed_v many_o great_a enormous_a disorder_n both_o in_o public_a and_o private_a for_o these_o two_o fault_n of_o wantonness_n and_o wilfulness_n be_v so_o couple_v
