contrary_n have_v thereby_o gain_v immortal_a praise_n and_o glory_n likewise_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n at_o all_o but_o that_o the_o father_n kindness_n ought_v to_o exceed_v all_o other_o love_n

to_o pardon_v he_o both_o the_o same_o and_o all_o other_o offence_n but_o in_o the_o end_n consider_v that_o the_o first_o prince_n be_v bind_v by_o their_o example_n to_o stir_v up_o and_o provoke_v
