when_o these_o fault_n which_o we_o observe_v in_o they_o be_v not_o simple_a natural_a fault_n but_o fault_n of_o manner_n and_o true_a and_o absolute_a fault_n for_o if_o we_o only_o need_v to_o

a_o hard_a thing_n to_o live_v long_o with_o pious_a people_n but_o we_o shall_v find_v in_o they_o many_o fault_n not_o only_o imaginary_a but_o true_a and_o real_a one_o human_a wit_n never_o hide_v
