to_o be_v of_o a_o opinion_n that_o the_o male_n have_v soon_o life_n than_o the_o female_n because_o he_o say_v their_o heat_n be_v great_a but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o

the_o infant_n whilst_o it_o be_v in_o the_o womb_n can_v have_v much_o no_o more_o than_o ordeur_n in_o the_o gut_n because_o at_o such_o time_n it_o receive_v no_o nourishment_n by_o the_o mouth_n
