they_o be_v so_o few_o four_o the_o aptness_n of_o man_n to_o forget_v death_n as_o we_o have_v often_o experience_v when_o one_o man_n shall_v say_v to_o another_o do_v you_o remember_v where_o you_o

of_o all_o number_n we_o can_v skill_v to_o number_v our_o day_n we_o can_v number_v our_o sheep_n and_o our_o ox_n and_o our_o coin_n but_o we_o think_v that_o our_o day_n be_v infinite_a and_o
