it_o be_v the_o pith_n that_o both_o breed_v and_o nourish_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o kernel_n but_o the_o arcadian_n be_v of_o a_o quite_o contrary_a opinion_n for_o say_v they_o every_o tree_n

can_v choose_v but_o die_v and_o be_v quite_o dry_v up_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o pith_n be_v the_o moiste_v and_o most_o lively_a part_n of_o any_o tree_n or_o plant_n for_o the_o
