and_o then_o the_o nurse_n fear_v to_o be_v punish_v for_o her_o negligence_n may_v take_v another_o child_n into_o the_o place_n of_o it_o which_o can_v hardly_o ever_o be_v mark_v and_o

be_v so_o earnest_a either_o from_o the_o mother_n towards_o the_o child_n or_o from_o the_o chlld_v towards_o the_o mother_n if_o she_o have_v not_o nurse_v he_o and_o give_v he_o suck_v for_o if_o

proceed_v from_o that_o inward_a affection_n of_o the_o child_n to_o which_o no_o love_n can_v be_v compare_v and_o hereupon_o plato_n just_o say_v that_o child_n will_v never_o love_v their_o
