there_o be_v nothing_o of_o great_a force_n either_o to_o good_a or_o evil_n than_o custom_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v another_o nature_n to_o do_v be_v not_o sufficient_a but_o to_o do_v well_o

be_v they_o call_v either_o virtue_n or_o vice_n according_a as_o they_o be_v either_o well_o or_o ill_o do_v q._n why_o have_v god_n give_v affection_n to_o the_o soul_n a._n that_o it_o may_v be_v
