to the multitude, saing, behold is not

midst theruv, one NV the elders arose
and sed, brethren, chuze We this da
hume we will serve. Wen menny sed,
az the son rizeth we will take to our
selvs Thomas, hoo abidith in the land
NV Oliver. Then went forth a CRATE
clammer, andmen swore with an oath

wine, and if that be, we will abide bi
the law ov Moses, witch SEE an eye for
an eye and a tuth for tuth. Then

but John hoo abidith in the CRATE city.
Now John is not an elder, but mi
teor man than waz Sampson hoo

pour, saing: Men and brethren, 10
and behold 1 ga unto yu, the CRATE
