in_o their_o hatred_n or_o their_o love_n even_o most_o common_o without_o any_o cause_n that_o they_o exceed_v all_o bound_n three_o or_o four_o day_n after_o that_o my_o husband_n be_v go_v i_o go_v

deep_o imprint_v this_o abominable_a desire_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n that_o they_o can_v get_v rid_v of_o it_o and_o methinks_v they_o will_v be_v in_o this_o case_n in_o less_o manner_n

but_o o_o the_o prodigiousness_n of_o disorderly_a love_n we_o see_v husband_n who_o have_v wife_n as_o beautiful_a as_o angel_n who_o nevertheless_o run_v after_o wench_n who_o be_v more_o deform_v

that_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o family_n be_v bastardize_a but_o where_o can_v one_o find_v a_o medium_fw-la in_o this_o affair_n and_o if_o all_o those_o who_o fall_v into_o such_o

a_o family_n for_o the_o field_n produce_v abundance_n of_o herb_n but_o the_o highway_n have_v not_o this_o advantage_n from_o whence_o come_v then_o this_o disorder_n unless_o it_o be_v that_o man_n
