out_o and_o lay_v it_o to_o cool_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o well_o alaide_v to_o file_n then_o raise_v the_o beard_n with_o your_o knife_n and_o make_v the_o point_n sharp_a then_o allay_v he_o again_o or_o else_o he_o will_v break_v in_o the_o bend_n then_o bend_v he_o as_o he_o will_v serve_v for_o your_o purpose_n you_o shall_v make_v they_o of_o great_a needle_n as_o shoemaker_n needle_n tailor_n needle_n or_o imbroderer_n needle_n but_o look_v that_o they_o will_v bow_v at_o the_o point_n or_o else_o they_o be_v not_o good_a and_o when_o you_o have_v beat_v flat_a the_o end_n of_o the_o hook_n file_v he_o smooth_a that_o it_o fret_v not_o the_o line_n than_o put_v it_o into_o the_o fire_n and_o give_v it_o a_o easy_a red_a heat_n then_o sudden_o quench_v it_o in_o water_n and_o
