the_o very_a union_n make_v they_o happy_a and_o useful_a to_o each_o other_o calo_n be_v much_o in_o the_o right_a to_o say_v it_o be_v more_o honourable_a to_o be_v a_o good_a husband_n than_o a_o

that_o can_v obtain_v the_o reputation_n of_o a_o good_a husband_n in_o such_o a_o age_n as_o this_o be_v worthy_a of_o double_a honour_n for_o he_o must_v have_v a_o strange_a art_n of_o conduct_n
