violent_a remove_n of_o any_o one_o member_n from_o his_o natural_a place_n all_o the_o rest_n be_v strange_o affect_v with_o pain_n and_o grief_n but_o in_o so_o great_a a_o mutation_n and_o

because_o in_o great_a joy_n and_o delight_n that_o be_v either_o new_a or_o long_o expect_v or_o very_o soodaine_a and_o bring_v much_o felicity_n with_o they_o the_o store_n and_o plenty_n of_o
