the_o necessary_a supply_n of_o kindred_n and_o family_n but_o i_o look_v upon_o it_o here_o as_o a_o thing_n that_o she_o easy_o and_o willing_o do_v never_o go_v about_o the_o bush_n to_o shelter_v a_o covetous_a and_o uncharitable_a mind_n under_o the_o name_n of_o common_a providence_n and_o natural_a affection_n but_o make_v her_o motherhood_n with_o such_o ease_n and_o chearfulnesse_n give_v
