which_o can_v but_o be_v painful_a lay_v aside_o the_o incommodity_n of_o travel_v and_o it_o seem_v just_a that_o he_o who_o abuse_v those_o thing_n shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o the_o comfort_n of_o they_o and_o have_v scandalize_v his_o neighbour_n by_o bad_a example_n may_v edify_v they_o by_o undergo_a this_o public_a penance_n the_o second_o it_o be_v a_o connatural_a remedy_n for_o such_o
