duty_n it_o be_v therefore_o inconsistent_a with_o his_o felicity_n inasmuch_o as_o it_o will_v make_v that_o duty_n impossible_a to_o be_v perform_v which_o before_o be_v by_o the_o constitution_n

now_o what_o can_v be_v mean_v by_o that_o i_o will_v have_v gather_v you_o as_o the_o hen_n her_o chicken_n under_o her_o wing_n can_v it_o intend_v a_o political_a meaning_n that_o he_o will_v
