the_o man_n which_o know_v not_o his_o duty_n how_o can_v he_o teach_v it_o his_o child_n not_o well_o instruct_v in_o this_o duty_n thyself_o thou_o can_v never_o teach_v it_o unto_o thy_o child_n for_o how_o can_v a_o man_n teach_v another_o man_n or_o his_o son_n or_o servant_n any_o art_n mystery_n or_o trade_n wherein_o he_o himself_o have_v no_o knowledge_n therefore_o see_v thou_o be_v
