as_o i_o believe_v none_o will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o read_v it_o unless_o he_o himself_o read_v of_o himself_o but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v that_o he_o will_v be_v tire_v of_o himself_o and_o so_o desist_v from_o his_o self_n story_n and_o if_o he_o do_v write_v his_o own_o life_n it_o will_v be_v as_o a_o mask_a dolphin_n or_o such_o like_a thing_n where_o the_o outside_n be_v paint_v

to_o his_o book_n it_o will_v be_v like_o a_o ill-favoured_a mask_a vizard_n but_o if_o he_o have_v any_o friend_n sure_o they_o will_v persuade_v he_o to_o employ_v his_o time_n about_o something_o

that_o you_o will_v not_o know_v what_o to_o make_v of_o it_o or_o in_o a_o low_a comparison_n you_o will_v find_v every_o book_n like_o a_o frippery_n or_o brokers-shop_n wherein_o be_v nothing_o
