or_o his_o assign_v can_v never_o avoid_v it_o and_o as_o for_o pindar_n grant_n it_o be_v absolute_o good_a but_o the_o person_n of_o pindar_n be_v subject_a after_o satisfaction_n make_v to_o he_o of_o his_o debt_n to_o give_v a_o account_n and_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o courten_n and_o littleton_n but_o that_o power_n of_o draw_v pindar_n to_o account_v no_o way_n lessen_v pindar_n his_o
