now_o you_o will_v say_v that_o nurture_n and_o education_n after_o birth_n be_v voluntary_a and_o so_o obligatory_a and_o true_o so_o say_v i_o too_o because_o in_o nature_n as_o to_o her_o equity_n

of_o they_o thereby_o prove_v the_o duty_n more_o positive_a than_o natural_a and_o then_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o child_n as_o they_o be_v usual_o nurse_v elsewhere_o what_o shall_v their_o

as_o this_o will_v be_v if_o well_o consider_v a_o strong_a obligation_n to_o duty_n for_o wife_n child_n servant_n etc._n etc._n so_o it_o will_v be_v therewithal_o more_o noble_a also_o if_o when_o
