indeed_o it_o will_v prove_v well_o for_o he_o if_o he_o have_v only_o write_v false_a english_a and_o mistake_v in_o the_o sense_n i_o appeal_v to_o all_o englishman_n and_o desire_v every_o reader_n to_o say_v if_o this_o be_v not_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n that_o i_o persuade_v the_o man_n r._n m_n to_o go_v to_o town_n to_o board_n and_o make_v use_n of_o a_o physician_n of_o

for_o he_o mention_v no_o other_o before_o and_o his_o sense_n carry_v it_o this_o way_n he_o hear_v they_o say_v thus_o and_o thus_o and_o so_o he_o get_v away_o now_o if_o i_o have_v give_v his_o
