to_o make_v we_o his_o son_n and_o daughter_n by_o adoption_n not_o for_o any_o benefit_n he_o receive_v of_o we_o for_o nothing_o can_v arise_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o any_o creature_n to_o that_o

yet_o both_o adoption_n agree_v in_o this_o that_o they_o flow_v from_o the_o pleasure_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o adoptant_a and_o that_o there_o be_v give_v to_o he_o that_o be_v adopt_v the_o
