to_o what_o end_n do_v they_o buy_v they_o siuqila_n many_o be_v so_o fantastical_a with_o we_o that_o they_o buy_v they_o for_o the_o newness_n of_o the_o book_n not_o for_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o work_n for_o some_o if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o book_n be_v it_o never_o so_o good_a almost_o before_o any_o other_o see_v it_o or_o have_v it_o he_o refuse_v to_o read_v it_o and_o make_v no_o

omen_n true_o they_o be_v not_o of_o my_o mind_n if_o i_o shall_v buy_v a_o book_n i_o will_v sure_o read_v the_o book_n as_o one_o not_o well_o judge_v of_o a_o book_n before_o he_o read_v it_o so_o we_o ought_v to_o read_v it_o thorough_o before_o we_o judge_v it_o and_o as_o some_o have_v a_o better_a opinion_n in_o a_o unread_a book_n than_o it_o do_v deserve_v so_o some_o unread_a book_n do_v deserve_v a_o better_a opinion_n than_o many_o have_v in_o they_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a to_o read_v book_n for_o if_o a_o evil_a man_n read_v a_o good_a book_n he_o may_v be_v the_o better_a and_o if_o a_o good_a man_n read_v a_o evil_a book_n he_o will_v not_o be_v the_o worse_o but_o we_o be_v sure_a of_o one_o thing_n with_o we_o evil_a book_n can_v infect_v we_o for_o we_o have_v
