we_o the_o vine_n grow_v thin_a with_o we_o and_o we_o not_o have_v yet_o any_o leisure_n to_o plant_v vineyard_n but_o now_o have_v some_o leisure_n to_o discourse_n of_o the_o motive_n for_o other_o

may_v find_v here_o what_o may_v well_o content_v he_o viz._n material_n to_o build_v fuel_n to_o burn_n ground_n to_o plant_n sea_n and_o river_n to_o fish_n in_o a_o pure_a air_n to_o breath_n in_o
