to_o a_o state_n than_o any_o other_o vice_n as_o be_v a_o incourager_n to_o all_o wickedness_n and_o the_o colour_n and_o cover_v which_o do_v conceal_v and_o hide_v it_o and_o therefore_o as_o plato_n think_v those_o commonwealth_n most_o miserable_a which_o abound_v with_o lawyer_n and_o physician_n because_o in_o they_o contention_n and_o suit_n sickness_n and_o disease_n abound_v also_o
