they_o do_v part_n and_o indeed_o as_o wife_n now_o go_v i_o think_v it_o be_v very_o extraordinary_a to_o meet_v one_o that_o true_o love_v her_o husband_n half_a so_o long_o in_o a_o word_n she_o

a_o grief_n for_o their_o husband_n death_n i_o know_v i_o need_v not_o travel_v your_o thought_n so_o far_o as_o the_o east-indies_n to_o show_v you_o the_o barbarous_a example_n of_o woman_n love_n

husband_n by_o it_o show_v more_o confidence_n in_o their_o wife_n than_o discretion_n in_o themselves_o and_o as_o too_o much_o liberty_n spoil_v some_o wife_n so_o a_o strict_a watchful_a jealousy_n

live_v in_o some_o kind_a ill_n that_o may_v live_v in_o many_o degree_n better_o therefore_o as_o prudent_a man_n manage_v and_o regulate_v their_o estate_n by_o divide_v it_o into_o several_a

of_o a_o tulip_n only_o pleasant_a to_o the_o eye_n for_o a_o little_a time_n and_o there_o be_v all_o or_o the_o maker_n of_o it_o which_o be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o various_a opinion_n of_o
