will_v first_o appear_v like_o so_o many_o star_n when_o the_o star_n be_v spend_v take_v hold_n of_o the_o powder_n dust_n they_o will_v run_v wriggle_v to_o and_o fro_o like_a serpent_n and_o when_o that_o composition_n be_v spend_v they_o will_v end_v with_o every_o one_o a_o report_n which_o will_v give_v great_a content_n i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o speak_v of_o these_o fisgig_n in_o

i_o have_v think_v fit_a and_o necessary_a to_o set_v down_o their_o description_n as_o well_o as_o of_o all_o other_o sort_n of_o firework_n first_o you_o must_v make_v a_o wheel_n of_o wood_n so_o
