it_o be_v against_o our_o will_n as_o for_o example_n a_o man_n will_v bring_v up_o his_o son_n in_o learning_n rather_o than_o in_o warfare_n or_o in_o any_o other_o occupation_n but_o because_o

which_o be_v your_o second_o way_n of_o permit_v sometime_o to_o permit_v be_v to_o grant_v one_o evil_a to_o go_v unpunished_a that_o many_o &_o more_o grievous_a evil_n thereby_o may_v be_v
