d●gree_n as_o to_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o branch_n such_o grow_v but_o little_a because_o the_o sap_n be_v somewhat_o obstruct_v and_o curb_v by_o bow_v the_o branch_n downward_o and_o so_o do_v attend_v to_o the_o other_o work_n also_o viz._n the_o bear_n of_o fruit_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o be_v make_v more_o evident_a if_o we_o consider_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o all_o young_a
