i_o have_v cast_v about_o in_o my_o thought_n to_o see_v how_o a_o mistake_n of_o this_o nature_n can_v in_o a_o author_n of_o such_o ability_n be_v interpret_v more_o favourable_o than_o a_o wilful_a misreckon_n and_o two_o way_n i_o do_v apprehend_v that_o possible_o the_o mistake_n may_v be_v entertain_v unaware_o 1._o peradventure_o the_o author_n may_v have_v read_v in_o some_o history_n

with_o that_o misprint_v in_o any_o one_o of_o those_o treatise_n or_o in_o any_o of_o those_o edition_n which_o i_o have_v seek_v out_o and_o diligent_o compare_v on_o set_a purpose_n 2._o peradventure_o the_o author_n may_v not_o have_v read_v the_o history_n of_o phocas_n but_o only_o receive_v it_o upon_o hear-say_n and_o so_o she_o may_v either_o have_v mistake_v the_o relator_n or_o swallow_v down_o the_o relator_n mistake_v and_o this_o late_a conjecture_n i_o look_v upon_o as_o the_o most_o probable_a in_o that_o it_o suit_v b●st_v with_o she_o own_o word_n for_o she_o
