of_o truth_n and_o daily_a experience_n can_v not_o but_o confess_v the_o good_a or_o bad_a shape_n of_o the_o body_n therefore_o must_v be_v no_o rule_n for_o we_o to_o bring_v up_o or_o not_o to_o

veniens_fw-la in_o corpore_fw-la virtus_fw-la adiwat_fw-la etc._n etc._n for_o although_o virtue_n of_o itself_o be_v lovely_a and_o to_o be_v high_o esteem_v yet_o when_o she_o be_v accompany_v with_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o body_n she_o be_v more_o amiable_a whatsoever_o seneca_n the_o stoic_a more_o severe_a than_o need_n please_v to_o say_v and_o with_o more_o affection_n embrace_v of_o

amiable_a than_o they_o that_o have_v beautiful_a body_n for_o it_o be_v rather_o good_a to_o see_v a_o man_n of_o body_n imperfect_a and_o disproportion_v endue_v with_o virtue_n than_o a_o goodly_a body_n to_o be_v nought_o else_o but_o a_o gay_a vessel_n fill_v with_o vice_n and_o wickedness_n child_n be_v to_o be_v breed_v such_o as_o nature_n give_v they_o unto_o we_o and_o we_o be_v to_o
