there_o be_v no_o post_n nor_o pillar_n in_o the_o town_n exempt_v from_o the_o paste_v up_o of_o the_o title_n of_o his_o play_n insomuch_o that_o the_o footboy_n for_o want_v of_o skill_n in_o

the_o afternoon_n yet_o if_o he_o do_v it_o well_o or_o handsome_o he_o may_v deserve_v some_o pardon_n but_o alas_o how_o ridiculous_o do_v he_o appear_v in_o print_n for_o any_o religion_n who_o have_v make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o laugh_v at_o all_o how_o can_v he_o stand_v up_o for_o any_o mode_n of_o worship_n who_o have_v be_v accustom_v to_o bite_v and_o spit_v his_o venom_n

of_o the_o world_n so_o in_o his_o late_a endeavour_n to_o pen_n controversy_n you_o shall_v hardly_o find_v one_o word_n to_o the_o purpose_n he_o be_v that_o accomplish_a person_n who_o love_v
