in_o such_o a_o narrative_a as_o that_o neither_o the_o language_n as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v nor_o the_o person_n that_o write_v it_o be_v so_o much_o to_o be_v regard_v as_o the_o verity_n of_o

what_o ephraim_n report_v or_o what_o he_o by_o his_o eeves-dropper_n be_v assure_v of_o when_o the_o oath_n itself_o appear_v and_o put_v all_o report_n and_o hear_n say_v out_o of_o door_n why_o
