which_o may_v well_o be_v a_o question_n among_o they_o who_o think_v it_o so_o great_a a_o happiness_n to_o be_v at_o quiet_a without_o any_o trouble_n to_o molest_v and_o to_o live_v at_o ease_n

that_o have_v the_o government_n upon_o his_o shoulder_n beside_o it_o be_v a_o very_a desirable_a thing_n to_o have_v the_o thought_n free_a for_o contemplation_n wherein_o a_o man_n may_v converse_v
