domestic_a or_o private_a affair_n of_o those_o person_n of_o who_o they_o write_v in_o which_o the_o world_n be_v little_o concern_v by_o these_o they_o become_v so_o flat_a that_o few_o care_n to_o

i_o have_v now_o a_o argument_n before_o i_o which_o will_v afford_v indeed_o only_o a_o short_a history_n but_o will_v contain_v in_o it_o as_o great_a a_o character_n as_o perhaps_o can_v be_v

they_o i_o confess_v i_o know_v he_o as_o much_o as_o the_o look_v often_o upon_o he_o can_v amount_v to_o the_o last_o year_n of_o his_o be_v in_o london_n he_o come_v always_o on_o sunday_n when_o
