for_o these_o word_n must_v be_v supply_v to_o make_v the_o sentence_n to_o i_o intelligible_a i_o intend_v to_o complain_v of_o they_o too_o and_o then_o you_o find_v fault_n with_o i_o for_o use_v

this_o be_v demonstration_n because_o the_o particle_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o same_o person_n in_o this_o life_n change_v every_o moment_n and_o your_o lordship_n can_v deny_v it_o and_o yet_o
