it_o than_o a_o verbal_a which_o be_v so_o heinous_a to_o the_o ear_n and_o reputation_n of_o a_o soldier_n but_o i_o hear_v a_o objection_n against_o this_o suit_n which_o i_o dare_v not_o mention_v

his_o successor_n must_v continue_v it_o and_o make_v it_o good_a nay_o perhaps_o increase_v it_o out_o of_o his_o mean_n and_o so_o successiively_a from_o generation_n to_o generation_n if_o the_o
