the_o chief_a ground_n of_o all_o the_o obscurity_n in_o the_o book_n be_v that_o antoninus_n have_v be_v all_o his_o life_n a_o indefatigable_a student_n and_o so_o read_v a_o world_n of_o writer_n of_o all_o sort_n his_o manner_n be_v in_o these_o his_o book_n as_o he_o rend_v any_o thing_n that_o make_v for_o his_o present_a purpose_n close_o and_o brief_o to_o allude_v unto_o it_o by_o some_o
