sight_n perfect_v and_o know_v the_o directe_v way_n they_o must_v take_v but_o such_o wife_n need_v not_o make_v boast_n of_o their_o sufficiencye_n for_o at_o this_o day_n the_o race_n of_o the_o

it_o be_v a_o thing_n reasonable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o nature_n that_o the_o strong_a shall_v command_v over_o the_o weak_a *_o yet_o some_o woman_n have_v the_o right_a art_n to_o order_v thing_n
