12.26_o 1_o cor._n 12.26_o all_o the_o member_n will_v suffer_v with_o it_o as_o if_o the_o foot_n be_v hurt_v the_o eye_n will_v look_v to_o it_o the_o hand_n will_v reach_v for_o it_o the_o tongue_n will_v speak_v for_o it_o etc._n etc._n even_o so_o must_v we_o take_v compassion_n of_o one_o another_o misery_n like_o scipio_n africanus_n minor_n who_o as_o appian_n report_v do_v weep_v when_o
