a_o singular_a good_a nature_n will_v geve_v thanks_n to_o his_o debtor_n because_o that_o he_o have_v pay_v he_o his_o debt_n and_o the_o debtor_n be_v very_o impudent_a or_o shameless_a if_o he_o as_o though_o he_o have_v well_o merit_v will_v therefore_o claim_v a_o reward_n because_o that_o he_o have_v pay_v his_o debt_n he_o that_o be_v a_o servant_n or_o a_o debtor_n do_v that_o thing_n
