of_o bergamot_n virgoulee_n leschassery_n ambrets_n thorn_n pear_n russelet_n etc._n etc._n the_o second_o incommodity_n be_v that_o if_o two_o or_o three_o kind_n happen_v to_o be_v there_o that_o

without_o a_o happy_a mixture_n of_o the_o one_o with_o the_o other_o last_o the_o three_o and_o most_o considerable_a inconvenience_n be_v that_o we_o seldom_o see_v in_o any_o garden_n a_o
