pleasant_a history_n say_v frantion_n it_o be_v already_o make_v and_o yet_o not_o one_o word_n write_v of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o sharp_a and_o a_o point_a satire_n on_o the_o mind_n and_o manner_n of_o some_o man_n of_o who_o i_o assume_v the_o liberty_n to_o speak_v most_o free_o and_o because_o the_o stile_n be_v not_o ordinary_a and_o i_o can_v give_v such_o a_o title_n to_o the_o book_n as_o

the_o title_n of_o it_o howsoever_o it_o will_v agree_v well_o enough_o with_o such_o a_o fantastical_a piece_n the_o subject_a on_o which_o i_o will_v express_v myself_o shall_v be_v to_o decipher_v
