for_o nature_n and_o perfection_n to_o be_v common_a it_o make_v love_n to_o all_o nature_n all_o all_o affect_v it_o so_o that_o in_o the_o world_n early_a infancy_n there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o

and_o as_o imbroderer_n lapidary_n and_o other_o artisan_n can_v by_o all_o thing_n adorn_v their_o work_n for_o by_o add_v better_a thing_n the_o better_a they_o show_v in_o lush_n and_o in_o

common_a to_o we_o for_o evil_a manner_n be_v parent_n of_o good_a law_n and_o in_o every_o evil_a there_o be_v a_o excellency_n which_o in_o common_a speech_n we_o call_v good_a for_o the_o fashion_n of_o habit_n for_o our_o move_n in_o gesture_n for_o phrase_n in_o our_o speech_n we_o say_v they_o be_v good_a as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v use_v that_o be_v as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v common_a and_o we_o eat_v we_o walk_v only_o when_o it_o be_v or_o seem_v good_a to_o do_v so_o all_o fair_a all_o profitable_a all_o virtuous_a be_v good_a and_o these_o three_o thing_n i_o think_v embrace_v
