the_o polish_v in_o it_o for_o he_o talk_v of_o a_o copy_n much_o at_o the_o rate_n of_o the_o cloak-bag_n but_o now_o to_o the_o argument_n she_o will_v instruct_v he_o to_o do_v a_o deed_n that_o

which_o can_v decline_v make_v soul_n immortal_a but_o cowardice_n mortal_a and_o by_o such_o subtlety_n his_o breast_n infect_v till_o he_o his_o general_n loyalty_n suspect_v no_o body_n can_v

he_o have_v not_o himself_o or_o carry_v not_o about_o he_o some_o way_n or_o other_o dear_a heart_n thou_o be_v in_o the_o right_n what_o do_v th●u_o think_v of_o nurse_n nay_o cat_n or_o dog_n in_o
