therefore_o my_o son_n you_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n and_o spare_v to_o speak_v that_o which_o you_o know_v not_o for_o certain_a well_o may_v other_o man_n sometime_o so_o do_v and_o cast_v out_o

so_o in_o sick_a folk_n how_o forward_o be_v they_o to_o call_v for_o physician_n that_o shall_v prescribe_v and_o direct_v what_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v semblable_o at_o sea_n how_o cheerful_o do_v
