with_o a_o scornful_a interogative_n do_v sober_o ask_v whether_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o find_v any_o path_n so_o ready_a to_o lead_v a_o man_n to_o virtue_n as_o that_o which_o teach_v what_o virtue_n be_v and_o teach_v it_o not_o only_o by_o deliver_v forth_o his_o very_a be_v his_o cause_n and_o effect_n but_o also_o by_o make_v know_v his_o enemy_n vice_n which_o must_v be_v destroy_v

but_o both_o not_o have_v both_o do_v both_o halt_n for_o the_o philosopher_n set_v down_o with_o thorny_a argument_n the_o bare_a rule_n be_v so_o hard_a of_o utterance_n and_o so_o misty_a to_o be_v

all_o he_o have_v hear_v yet_o shall_v never_o satisfy_v his_o inward_a conceit_n with_o be_v witness_n to_o itself_o of_o a_o true_a lively_a knowledge_n but_o the_o same_o man_n as_o soon_o as_o
