there_o rest_v yet_o master_n smith_n say_v i_o one_o point_n to_o be_v allege_v herein_o which_o be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v not_o many_o can_v bear_v this_o first_o charge_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v it_o also_o with_o that_o he_o pause_v a_o while_n and_o there_o reply_v again_o as_o follow_v if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v hinder_v in_o deed_n this_o enterprise_n or_o

he_o have_v never_o do_v it_o nor_o philip_n which_o prepare_v the_o macedonian_n to_o such_o a_o enterprise_n who_o by_o sundry_a conquest_n upon_o his_o neighbour_n he_o have_v flesh_v to_o the_o

both_o in_o diet_n and_o apparel_n make_v that_o man_n which_o have_v but_o small_a portion_n can_v not_o maintain_v themselves_o in_o the_o emulation_n of_o this_o world_n with_o like_a countenance_n as_o the_o ground_a rich_fw-fr can_v do_v thus_o stand_v we_o at_o home_n then_o go_v i_o to_o examine_v the_o estate_n of_o country_n abroad_o and_o find_v that_o all_o the_o country_n adjacent_a
