win_v the_o game_n for_o a_o mean_a estate_n you_o shall_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o very_o best_a husband_n will_v overlook_v your_o ground_n for_o you_o as_o glad_a to_o spy_v a_o fault_n in_o they_o

to_o have_v a_o house_n too_o little_a for_o a_o day_n than_o too_o big_a for_o a_o whole_a year_n and_o care_v for_o no_o conveniency_n of_o lodging_n so_o the_o hall_n and_o kitchen_n be_v big_a

from_o annoyance_n as_o you_o may_v in_o a_o word_n let_v the_o whole_a frame_n discover_v your_o willingness_n to_o do_v well_o rather_o than_o brand_v you_o to_o hereafter_o memory_n for_o covetous_a and_o base_o dispose_v and_o if_o you_o can_v leave_v a_o estate_n of_o a_o thousand_o mark_n behind_o you_o let_v the_o passer_n by_o view_v the_o house_n imagine_v it_o a_o 1000_o pound_n a_o year_n for_o so_o a_o second_o good_a husband_n &_o a_o good_a family_n to_o match_v in_o may_v raise_v it_o in_o another_o age_n and_o then_o follow_v a_o kind_n of_o repine_v that_o my_o
