the_o first_o point_n which_o be_v the_o change_n of_o the_o child_n that_o may_v easy_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o child_n be_v bear_v and_o christen_v the_o mother_n

the_o proverb_n go_v that_o they_o be_v change_v at_o nurse_n which_o sometime_o may_v be_v true_a than_o they_o be_v aware_a of_o the_o historiographer_n report_n that_o arthebar_v king_n of_o the_o
