he_o be_v make_v to_o judge_v of_o thing_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v provide_v of_o a_o faithful_a messenger_n as_o the_o touch_n be_v to_o make_v he_o a_o true_a report_n

but_o the_o sight_n and_o the_o other_o sense_n do_v not_o so_o for_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o frequent_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o great_a spirit_n have_v the_o short_a sight_n and_o the_o other_o
