if_o he_o wound_v a_o soul_n sure_o it_o must_v be_v with_o a_o arrow_n fetch_v it_o from_o the_o quiver_n of_o the_o scripture_n a_o arrow_n take_v out_o of_o aristotle_n quiver_n may_v smite_v a_o

upon_o this_o account_n can_v the_o servant_n expect_v to_o fare_v better_a than_o the_o master_n it_o be_v his_o honour_n that_o he_o can_v be_v like_o he_o though_o it_o be_v in_o suffer_v to_o
