herself_o no_o far_o than_o mere_o to_o supply_v our_o necessity_n and_o real_a want_n which_o however_o we_o have_v leave_v to_o enlarge_v a_o little_a and_o that_o we_o may_v not_o complain_v of_o scanty_a measure_n be_v free_a to_o consult_v convenience_n and_o common_a decency_n for_o example_n it_o be_v a_o natural_a pleasure_n to_o be_v shelter_v by_o a_o good_a tight_a house_n and_o to_o
