whereby_o there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n at_o all_o that_o the_o servant_n shall_v have_v for_o his_o end_n his_o proper_a benefit_n and_o withal_o the_o service_n of_o his_o master_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o whole_o resolve_v the_o propound_a doubt_n because_o it_o seem_v that_o if_o the_o true_a and_o principal_a end_n of_o the_o servant_n be_v his_o own_o proper_a commodity_n we_o may_v say_v that_o his_o duty_n be_v to_o work_v not_o for_o his_o master_n service_n but_o for_o his_o own_o profit_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v by_o every_o man_n with_o great_a reason_n reject_v wherefore_o
