be_v at_o present_a if_o former_o both_o my_o mind_n and_o body_n partake_v of_o the_o pleasure_n of_o love_v you_o yet_o i_o tell_v you_o a_o thousand_o time_n that_o i_o have_v always_o more_o

of_o this_o by_o the_o extreme_a reluctance_n i_o have_v against_o marriage_n although_o i_o well_o know_v that_o this_o name_n be_v honourable_a among_o man_n and_o holy_a in_o religion_n yet_o i_o
