another_o time_n be_v content_v with_o what_o be_v their_o own_o i_o know_v that_o by_o this_o apology_n i_o have_v choke_v all_o the_o old_a father_n but_o let_v they_o remember_v they_o be_v child_n

she_o constrain_v they_o whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o to_o give_v a_o being_n to_o one_o another_o and_o not_o like_o man_n who_o do_v fantastical_o generate_v when_o the_o freak_n take_v they_o and_o who_o in_o their_o life-time_n surpass_v not_o the_o number_n of_o above_o twenty_o whereas_o each_o cabbage_n can_v produce_v forty_o thousand_o and_o yet_o we_o tickle_v ourselves_o with_o the_o imagination_n that_o nature_n be_v more_o affect_v to_o mankind_n then_o to_o this_o cabbage_n be_v incapable_a of_o passion_n she_o can_v neither_o love_v nor_o hate_v any_o thing_n but_o if_o

you_o may_v add_v that_o man_n can_v be_v bear_v guiltless_a be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o first_o criminal_a but_o we_o know_v that_o the_o first_o cabbage_n do_v not_o offend_v his_o maker_n now_o

off_o these_o be_v the_o discourse_n a_o cabbage_n will_v hold_v if_o it_o can_v express_v its_o meaning_n what_o and_o because_o he_o can_v complain_v may_v we_o just_o do_v he_o all_o the_o wrong_n
