marry_a because_o we_o will_v live_v long_o the_o other_o folly_n be_v that_o they_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o they_o be_v able_a and_o go_v about_o to_o make_v silver_n whereof_o likewise_o there_o be_v many_o book_n alchemy_n they_o use_v for_o this_o purpose_n many_o herb_n and_o quicksilver_n wherein_o they_o spend_v that_o little_a silver_n which_o they_o have_v and_o remain_v
