and_o wicked_a and_o undoubted_o we_o see_v that_o they_o do_v soon_o learn_v villainous_a &_o unseemly_a speech_n and_o malicious_a lewd_a action_n with_o their_o corruption_n and_o as_o the_o old_a

moreover_o parent_n when_o they_o mean_v to_o put_v forth_o their_o child_n to_o any_o trade_n or_o occupation_n either_o to_o learning_n they_o then_o ought_v careful_o to_o see_v and_o inquire_v

the_o fear_n of_o some_o temporal_a or_o carnal_a inconvenience_n cause_v they_o to_o inquire_v of_o his_o or_o her_o truth_n honesty_n or_o other_o quality_n therefore_o if_o parent_n shall_v
