nor_o be_v it_o so_o easy_a a_o matter_n for_o i_o to_o determine_v this_o my_o doubt_n the_o contrary_a reason_n that_o offer_v themselves_o to_o my_o perpension_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v of_o

to_o conclude_v that_o the_o perusal_n of_o the_o book_n alone_o without_o the_o importunity_n of_o a_o letter_n may_v too_o much_o interrupt_v your_o repose_n and_o the_o public_a felicity_n to_o
