they_o it_o can_v be_v suppose_v they_o will_v so_o easy_o give_v themselves_o over_o to_o they_o but_o we_o too_o often_o find_v that_o by_o man_n heedless_a run_n upon_o one_o sin_n that_o make_v way_n for_o another_o and_o that_o again_o for_o a_o three_o and_o so_o they_o go_v on_o till_o at_o last_o they_o make_v themselves_o a_o example_n of_o justice_n as_o we_o have_v many_o time_n
