for_o if_o they_o be_v then_o to_o be_v bear_v as_o we_o be_v now_o child_n and_o grow_v to_o be_v man_n i_o think_v they_o must_v needs_o also_o be_v child_n in_o knowledge_n and_o so_o have_v

they_o will_v not_o avoid_v but_o meat_n shall_v have_v their_o effect_n and_o so_o also_o breed_v disease_n when_o out_o of_o season_n m._n you_o be_v not_o well_o acquaint_v being_n with_o the_o
