than_o get_v by_o his_o frugal_a parent_n it_o may_v well_o be_v presume_v because_o so_o little_a of_o it_o be_v bestow_v to_o such_o use_v when_o man_n return_v so_o little_a to_o god_n to_o who_o they_o owe_v all_o they_o have_v and_o most_o assure_o no_o article_n in_o your_o account_n at_o the_o great_a audit_n will_v soon_o be_v allow_v to_o cover_v many_o other_o error_n than_o what_o be_v
