the_o main_a thing_n these_o trade_n in_o be_v about_o cattle_n and_o that_o give_v the_o denomination_n they_o have_v gold_n and_o silver_n but_o they_o be_v man_n of_o cattle_n and_o then_o again_o for_o this_o reason_n cattle_n be_v live_v substance_n gold_n and_o silver_n be_v dead_a substance_n cattle_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o gold_n and_o silver_n because_o

the_o best_a without_o life_n the_o low_a of_o a_o superior_a order_n be_v better_a than_o the_o high_a of_o a_o inferior_a now_o all_o thing_n without_o life_n be_v put_v into_o a_o degree_n into_o
