that_o the_o child_n of_o weak_o and_o sickly_a parent_n seldom_o live_v long_o here_o by_o the_o way_n if_o we_o may_v digress_v little_a we_o conceive_v the_o reason_n 1._o why_o the_o patriarch_n

lest_o he_o beshrew_v himself_o for_o his_o pain_n let_v he_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o most_o high_a creator_n of_o all_o thing_n have_v give_v commission_n to_o nature_n to_o be_v princess_n
