a_o open_a vessel_n for_o though_o a_o vessel_n be_v of_o never_o so_o great_a capacity_n yet_o if_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o vessel_n be_v shut_v and_o close_v up_o though_o it_o be_v throw_v into_o the_o sea_n where_o there_o be_v water_n enough_o yet_o it_o fill_v not_o three_o when_o the_o vessel_n be_v wide_o open_a for_o though_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o vessel_n be_v open_a yet_o if_o it_o
