those_o rare_a thing_n i_o be_o think_v say_v he_o what_o a_o world_n of_o thing_n be_v here_o i_o do_v not_o want_v for_o what_o be_v more_o than_o we_o use_v be_v more_o than_o we_o need_v i_o be_o

it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o doubt_n that_o those_o ornamental_a dress_n which_o the_o creator_n think_v too_o many_o no_o woman_n creature_n but_o aught_o to_o esteem_v more_o than_o enough_o yet_o so_o

which_o exact_o suit_v the_o true_a beauty_n of_o religion_n which_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v of_o great_a price_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o that_o will_v render_v woman_n of_o so_o

the_o young_a lady_n that_o enjoy_v that_o share_n of_o beauty_n which_o perhaps_o her_o neighbour_n be_v trouble_v for_o the_o want_n of_o let_v it_o not_o render_v her_o proud_a that_o she_o be_v
