many_o thing_n happen_v to_o they_o especial_o which_o have_v business_n why_o they_o can_v not_o always_o observe_v these_o order_n therefore_o this_o rule_n contain_v a_o profitable_a moderation_n

civil_a law_n be_v the_o band_n of_o common_a society_n therefore_o in_o break_v they_o charity_n be_v always_o hurt_v for_o because_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o use_v his_o obedience_n as_o a_o
