in_o quality_n so_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o reparation_n may_v in_o a_o manner_n be_v eternal_a if_o the_o mean_n of_o reparation_n do_v not_o fall_v away_o but_o indeed_o in_o a_o decline_a age_n there_o be_v but_o a_o very_a unequal_a reparation_n make_v in_o some_o part_n reparation_n proceed_v happy_o and_o other_o part_n grow_v worse_o and_o worse_o and_o from_o that_o time_n man_n begin_v

and_o the_o other_o promote_v and_o comfort_v as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v and_o the_o first_o of_o these_o belong_v chief_o to_o the_o spirit_n and_o external_a air_n by_o which_o the_o depredation_n
