a_o stranger_n have_v as_o great_a a_o desire_n as_o any_o other_o person_n to_o enrich_v his_o kindred_n in_o what_o place_n soever_o they_o be_v beside_o he_o can_v send_v for_o they_o when_o he_o

which_o may_v plentiful_o maintain_v he_o in_o case_n he_o fall_v into_o disgrace_n beside_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v that_o a_o stranger_n can_v be_v so_o well_o affect_v to_o france_n as_o one_o that_o suck_v in_o the_o love_n of_o his_o country_n with_o his_o mother_n milk_n to_o which_o i_o will_v add_v that_o see_v he_o be_v not_o marry_v nor_o in_o a_o condition_n ever_o to_o
