than_o they_o can_v spare_v from_o other_o labour_n 2._o second_o that_o the_o style_n and_o expression_n be_v plain_a and_o suit_v to_o the_o vulgar_a even_o to_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o mean_a for_o these_o generally_n must_v be_v the_o workman_n and_o labourer_n thereabouts_o now_o we_o know_v that_o many_o piece_n upon_o this_o subject_a be_v in_o latin_a french_a and_o other_o tongue_n

of_o common_a capacity_n their_o expression_n be_v answerable_a and_o therefore_o not_o so_o profitable_a to_o the_o vulgar_a though_o excellent_a in_o themselves_o and_o very_o useful_a unto_o
