they_o know_v not_o for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o no_o nor_o for_o their_o own_o good_a as_o it_o be_v with_o riches_n and_o honour_n so_o with_o knowledge_n covetous_a man_n gather_v riches_n that_o they_o may_v be_v rich_a they_o propose_v not_o any_o other_o end_n of_o have_v riches_n but_o only_o to_o be_v rich_a a_o ambitious_a man_n desire_v honour_n that_o he_o may_v be_v
