or_o to_o know_v what_o be_v evil_a &_o to_o hate_v &_o shun_v it_o which_o operation_n of_o these_o two_o power_n be_v great_o commodious_a though_o the_o body_n rest_n all_o the_o while_n &_o do_v

which_o be_v a_o commendable_a thing_n though_o it_o be_v do_v but_o only_o for_o the_o love_n of_o virtue_n as_o the_o heathen_a philosopher_n do_v much_o more_o when_o a_o christian_a do_v it_o
