A11774	The Belgicke pismire stinging the slothfull sleeper, and avvaking the diligent to fast, watch, pray; and worke out their owne temporall and eternall salvation with feare and trembling.	Scott, Thomas, 1580?-1626.	1622 (1622)	STC 22069; ESTC S116957	66,236	114

and_o last_o we_o have_v no_o land_n or_o a_o very_a little_a in_o those_o part_n and_o so_o not_o the_o like_a mean_n from_o our_o own_o annual_a crop_n to_o lade_v our_o own_o ship_n or_o the_o
