yet_o so_o as_o that_o the_o main_a business_n and_o weight_n of_o the_o crime_n do_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n depend_v upon_o itself_o this_o be_v so_o exact_o true_a that_o if_o it_o appear_v any_o

be_v neither_o full_o see_v nor_o to_o be_v see_v neither_o know_v nor_o to_o be_v know_v consider_v second_o that_o if_o what_o you_o say_v be_v true_a there_o be_v yet_o neither_o evil_a nor_o
