they_o something_o to_o quiet_v they_o withal_o by_o love_n reward_v rather_o then_o revenge_v their_o frowardness_n there_o be_v love_n and_o therefore_o the_o chief_a property_n thereof_o can_v

witness_v of_o the_o same_o as_o occasion_n and_o ability_n will_v permit_v that_o this_o be_v a_o property_n that_o can_v be_v sunder_v from_o love_n it_o do_v appear_v in_o the_o love_n and_o
