cold_a do_v restrain_v and_o refresh_v the_o say_a heat_n 28_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o of_o all_o savage_a beast_n the_o bear_n do_v never_o light_o gnaw_v the_o net_n and_o toil_n with_o her_o tooth_n whereas_o wolf_n and_o fox_n use_v ordinary_o to_o eat_v the_o same_o be_v it_o for_o that_o her_o tooth_n grow_v far_o within_o her_o mouth_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o she_o can_v get_v
