one_o extreme_a when_o we_o give_v too_o much_o then_o in_o the_o other_o when_o we_o give_v too_o little_a now_o justice_n take_v in_o this_o sense_n be_v twofold_a either_o commutative_a or_o

of_o expletrix_fw-la and_o assignatrix_fw-la instead_o of_o the_o old_a dialect_n of_o commutative_a and_o distributive_a justice_n may_v take_v his_o share_n patient_o in_o this_o reproof_n first_o commutative_a justice_n be_v what_o commutative_a justice_n be_v be_v that_o justice_n wherein_o we_o give_v by_o way_n of_o exchange_n one_o thing_n for_o another_o as_o when_o a_o shoemaker_n give_v
