not_o only_o for_o one_o very_a need_n but_o for_o one_o delight_n and_o content_v the_o equity_n of_o that_o judicial_a law_n of_o moses_n say_v somewhat_o but_o my_o ground_n be_v because_o a_o

the_o like_a to_o pluck_v a_o ear_n a_o apple_n or_o apple_n a_o plum_n a_o pear_n or_o so_o and_o this_o be_v warrant_n enough_o if_o it_o be_v not_o abuse_v to_o save_v the_o conscience_n of_o a_o
