now_o you_o will_v say_v that_o nurture_n and_o education_n after_o birth_n be_v voluntary_a and_o so_o obligatory_a and_o true_o so_o say_v i_o too_o because_o in_o nature_n as_o to_o her_o equity_n

of_o they_o thereby_o prove_v the_o duty_n more_o positive_a than_o natural_a and_o then_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o child_n as_o they_o be_v usual_o nurse_v elsewhere_o what_o shall_v their_o

if_o any_o speak_v of_o the_o affection_n of_o parent_n to_o the_o young_a this_o be_v strong_a indeed_o in_o the_o female_a but_o not_o lasting_a enough_o to_o make_v a_o family_n of_o but_o if_o

people_n either_o in_o declare_v what_o his_o divine_a will_n be_v or_o for_o see_v the_o same_o execute_v so_o this_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n also_o of_o those_o many_o more_o strict_a injunction_n
