this_o that_o a_o man_n natural_o be_v of_o a_o generous_a hart_n &_o can_v hardly_o endure_v displeasure_n and_o injury_n and_o there_o be_v no_o man_n how_o base_a soever_o he_o be_v that_o take_v

the_o cause_n why_o a_o man_n be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o a_o pleasure_n do_v unto_o he_o come_v of_o the_o small_a consideration_n of_o the_o ingrateful_a heart_n of_o he_o which_o receive_v the_o pleasure_n towards_o his_o benefactor_n which_o usual_o so_o much_o move_v and_o offend_v a_o gentle_a heart_n that_o sometime_o he_o be_v induce_v and_o yield_v to_o do_v worse_o and_o more_o unworthy_a thing_n than_o the_o put_v he_o in_o mind_n of_o a_o pleasure_n do_v he_o ingratitude_n then_o can_v have_v no_o excuse_n and_o by_o so_o much_o the_o less_o by_o how_o much_o the_o pleasure_n have_v be_v great_a as_o that_o which_o the_o son_n receive_v from_o the_o father_n the_o citizen_n or_o patriot_n from_o his_o country_n the_o scholar_n from_o his_o master_n and_o the_o
