that_o notwithstanding_o these_o defect_n which_o we_o must_v modest_o acknowledge_v we_o must_v still_o go_v forward_o 3._o and_o strive_v to_o repair_v our_o ruin_n as_o follow_v in_o the_o three_o

estate_n begin_v any_o way_n to_o be_v impoverish_v there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o he_o shall_v desire_v to_o live_v any_o long_a but_o that_o he_o may_v make_v himself_o away_o which_o say_v be_v
