it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o diverse_a person_n give_v themselves_o wholye_a to_o the_o bent_n of_o their_o own_o indiscretion_n and_o want_n of_o judgement_n esteem_v of_o thing_n clean_o contrary_a

man_n nor_o courteous_a but_o altogether_o ignorant_a of_o the_o rule_n of_o humanity_n and_o good_a fellowship_n a_o lamentable_a state_n be_v that_o where_o man_n be_v so_o mislead_v by_o
