decrepit_a parent_n instead_o of_o believe_v themselves_o parricide_n call_v we_o cruel_a for_o let_v we_o continue_v so_o long_o in_o the_o misery_n of_o age_n infinite_a like_a instance_n have_v

have_v by_o nature_n the_o faculty_n be_v find_v in_o we_o before_o the_o action_n so_o the_o power_n of_o see_v hear_v and_o speak_v be_v in_o man_n before_o these_o act_n but_o we_o perform_v virtuous_a action_n before_o we_o have_v the_o habit_n of_o virtue_n moreover_o these_o virtue_n be_v for_o this_o reason_n call_v moral_a because_o they_o be_v implant_v by_o custom_n and_o as_o a_o
