have_v long_o since_o be_v bury_v can_v now_o be_v bear_v except_o we_o be_v bury_v a_o commonwealth_n shall_v have_v the_o innocence_n of_o the_o dove_n let_v we_o leave_v this_o purchase_n of_o

become_v proud_a and_o idle_a it_o be_v certain_a my_o lord_n that_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v not_o upon_o we_o for_o nothing_o but_o take_v heed_n how_o you_o admit_v of_o such_o assault_n and_o

your_o agrarian_n which_o be_v my_o four_o assertion_n must_v indeed_o destroy_v industry_n for_o that_o so_o it_o do_v in_o lacedaemon_n be_v most_o apparent_a as_o also_o that_o it_o can_v do_v no_o

the_o land_n without_o any_o consideration_n of_o the_o former_a proprietor_n be_v survey_v and_o cast_v into_o equal_a lot_n which_o can_v neither_o be_v buy_v nor_o sell_v nor_o multiply_v so_o that_o they_o know_v whereabout_o to_o have_v a_o man_n but_o in_o this_o nation_n no_o such_o division_n can_v be_v introduce_v the_o land_n be_v already_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o proprietor_n and_o such_o who_o estate_n lie_v very_o rare_o together_o but_o mix_v one_o with_o another_o be_v also_o of_o tenor_n in_o nature_n so_o different_a that_o as_o there_o be_v no_o experience_n that_o a_o

and_o have_v bear_v a_o stroke_n at_o the_o head_n of_o the_o business_n if_o my_o lord_n archon_n have_v not_o interpose_v the_o buckler_n in_o this_o oration_n my_o lord_n the_o legislator_n of_o

for_o when_o the_o law_n command_v a_o equal_a or_o near_o equal_a distribution_n of_o a_o man_n estate_n in_o land_n among_o his_o child_n as_o in_o those_o country_n a_o nobility_n can_v grow_v
