the_o reason_n be_v very_o apparent_a because_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o when_o they_o be_v vest_v with_o such_o great_a power_n no_o sort_n of_o man_n ever_o carry_v it_o more_o

like_a consideration_n the_o wise_a venetian_n have_v so_o slight_a a_o opinion_n of_o the_o politic_n of_o their_o churchman_n that_o whenever_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o a_o considerable_a
