for_o marriage_n as_o the_o maiden_n have_v and_o that_o both_o sex_n be_v under_o a_o equal_a passion_n for_o this_o condition_n of_o life_n we_o may_v infer_v it_o from_o the_o prodigious_a

in_o my_o opinion_n go_v beyond_o all_o the_o great_a deed_n of_o caesar_n and_o alexander_n you_o may_v apprehend_v it_o as_o you_o please_v but_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v that_o such_o a_o geniture_n
