understand_v and_o learn_v the_o three_o part_n of_o the_o world_n be_v habit_v and_o one_o columbo_n a_o italian_a in_o king_n henry_n the_o sevenths_n time_n be_v set_v a_o work_n by_o the_o king_n

that_o gold_n seek_v mean_n to_o conquer_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o encumber_v by_o cruelty_n and_o pride_n all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n why_o may_v not_o we_o as_o well_o by_o policy_n

a_o new_a kind_n of_o art_n how_o to_o deceive_v one_o another_o and_o sure_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n for_o if_o people_n be_v not_o employ_v to_o win_v their_o food_n and_o that_o neither_o plague_n

our_o ship_n under_o sail_n arm_v and_o appoint_v too_o give_v they_o a_o charge_n and_o a_o foyll_n by_o the_o report_n of_o such_o as_o be_v wise_a and_o worshipful_a if_o our_o goodly_a ship_n be_v

if_o we_o take_v a_o custom_n too_o be_v abroad_o both_o the_o turk_n galley_n and_o all_o other_o christian_a prince_n power_n on_o the_o sea_n will_v give_v they_o free_a passage_n or_o stand_v in_o

that_o he_o can_v not_o fall_v but_o by_o the_o rebuke_n of_o fortune_n or_o want_n of_o worldly_a policy_n but_o such_o as_o from_o small_a ability_n or_o suckor_n do_v rise_v too_o great_a wealth_n or_o government_n have_v neither_o king_n nor_o kingdom_n too_o comfort_v they_o be_v of_o great_a heart_n and_o courage_n neither_o inferior_a to_o hercules_n nor_o in_o their_o mind_n behind_o no_o

in_o a_o strong_a flood_n or_o be_v any_o way_n afloat_a where_o be_v great_a weakness_n of_o body_n and_o little_a strength_n to_o withstand_v the_o stream_n i_o can_v do_v no_o more_o with_o my_o
