great_a matter_n yet_o a_o much_o great_a piece_n of_o work_n it_o be_v when_o one_o have_v win_v it_o to_o hold_v it_o for_o oftentimes_o his_o fortune_n be_v to_o obtain_v it_o who_o show_v

may_v make_v most_o account_n to_o hold_v as_o their_o own_o whatsoever_o they_o desire_v now_o if_o any_o there_o be_v that_o reason_v thus_o what_o be_v we_o the_o better_a for_o effect_v that_o

be_v it_o for_o that_o we_o be_v now_o in_o place_n of_o sovereign_n command_n but_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v that_o the_o ruler_n shall_v be_v worse_o than_o the_o subject_n or_o be_v it_o because_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o a_o happy_a estate_n now_o than_o beforetime_o and_o will_v a_o man_n say_v indeed_o that_o in_o prosperity_n cowardice_n be_v to_o be_v bear_v with_o and_o pardon_v or_o because_o we_o have_v get_v slave_n to_o serve_v we_o shall_v we_o chastise_v they_o if_o they_o prove_v lewd_a and_o naught_o but_o how_o befit_v it_o he_o who_o be_v bad_a and_o blockish_a himself_o
