the_o body_n attain_v that_o strength_n and_o firmness_n between_o the_o fourteen_o and_o twenty_o year_n that_o then_o the_o seed_n begin_v to_o be_v generate_v and_o acquire_v every_o day_n so_o much_o the_o great_a perfection_n by_o how_o much_o the_o body_n grow_v strong_a and_o needs_o less_o growth_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o seed_n be_v not_o generate_v at_o young_a year_n and_o in_o
