the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o many_o other_o in_o the_o scripture_n the_o like_a also_o of_o many_o of_o our_o english_a name_n they_o be_v not_o by_o and_o by_o crafty_a that_o be_v call_v fox_n

say_v to_o be_v with_o we_o that_o be_v in_o our_o nature_n what_o do_v it_o prove_v else_o but_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o humanity_n and_o last_o in_o that_o the_o whole_a name_n be_v give_v as_o a_o
