time_n at_o copthall_n as_o much_o as_o my_o lord_n of_o london_n and_o my_o memory_n can_v serve_v we_o to_o do_v it_o but_o one_o thing_n far_o i_o must_v observe_v as_o very_o remarkable_a in_o

less_o than_o victory_n when_o in_o all_o humane_a probability_n he_o be_v the_o strong_a both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n when_o as_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o appearance_n of_o such_o a_o prodigious_a
