with_o a_o smile_n that_o there_o be_v such_o powerful_a charm_n in_o humane_a beauty_n as_o to_o compel_v a_o man_n against_o his_o will_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o best_o if_o it_o

some_o we_o love_v some_o we_o do_v it_o one_o love_v this_o and_o another_o that_o for_o this_o depend_v whole_o on_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o will_n so_o that_o every_o one_o love_n who_o he_o

for_o fear_n and_o the_o law_n be_v sufficient_a to_o restrain_v love_n but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o law_n make_v that_o they_o which_o eat_v not_o shall_v not_o be_v hungry_a and_o that_o they_o which_o drink_v not_o shall_v not_o be_v thirity_n or_o that_o people_n shall_v not_o be_v cold_a in_o the_o winter_n nor_o hot_a in_o the_o summer_n these_o be_v thing_n which_o be_v beyond_o the_o

say_v cyrus_n if_o love_n be_v thus_o voluntary_a that_o a_o man_n can_v give_v over_o love_a when_o he_o will_v have_v not_o i_o see_v some_o weep_v mere_o through_o that_o grief_n which_o their_o

none_o so_o ready_a you_o know_v as_o yourself_o to_o r●…prehend_v they_o which_o argue_v you_o do_v think_v they_o be_v under_o any_o necessity_n of_o steal_v and_o therefore_o you_o do_v pardon_n
