all_o his_o action_n or_o that_o which_o he_o do_v propose_v to_o himself_o as_o the_o reason_n of_o what_o he_o do_v ex_fw-la gr_n when_o you_o see_v a_o man_n build_v a_o house_n if_o you_o ask_v

make_v their_o carnal_a pleasure_n delight_n sport_n and_o pastime_n their_o chief_a end_n as_o if_o god_n have_v put_v they_o into_o the_o world_n as_o the_o psalmist_n report_v of_o the_o
