will_v not_o be_v altogether_o unprofitable_a unto_o we_o cock._n many_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v of_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o cock._n and_o that_o be_v the_o cock_n if_o any_o question_n

if_o this_o bird_n be_v not_o so_o common_a but_o be_v very_o seldom_o see_v there_o be_v but_o few_o other_o creature_n which_o will_v be_v prefer_v before_o he_o although_o there_o be_v nothing_o

among_o the_o hen_n with_o who_o he_o be_v conversant_a and_o how_o much_o do_v he_o love_v they_o even_o to_o provide_v for_o meat_n to_o feed_v they_o and_o to_o take_v it_o out_o of_o his_o own_o

which_o be_v breed_v in_o he_o for_o he_o understand_v and_o perceive_v the_o course_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o of_o the_o sun_n and_o when_o his_o rise_n do_v approach_v so_o that_o he_o declare_v it_o by_o his_o crow_n very_o timely_a in_o the_o morning_n and_o that_o diverse_a time_n before_o any_o other_o creature_n can_v perceive_v it_o yea_o or_o man_n themselves_o except_o they_o rise_v out_o of_o their_o bed_n to_o behold_v the_o sky_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o must_v have_v obtain_v some_o knowledge_n of_o the_o course_n and_o of_o the_o motion_n of_o

the_o cock_n than_o be_v more_o skilful_a in_o this_o art_n for_o without_o ever_o move_v from_o the_o place_n where_o he_o be_v at_o roost_n to_o sleep_v and_o what_o weather_n soever_o there_o be_v
