in_o this_o matter_n

be_v general_o as_o willing_a to_o lay_v down_o ill_a conceit_n of_o their_o neighbour_n as_o they_o be_v to_o take_v they_o up_o yet_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o he_o that_o make_v even_o the_o

to_o be_v consider_v the_o more_o to_o stir_v up_o our_o care_n to_o the_o performance_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o common_a error_n in_o this_o point_n man_n look_v
