observe_v tree_n thrive_v best_a where_o the_o root_n run_v near_o the_o surface_n and_o not_o at_o all_o where_o plant_v deep_o because_o by_o deep_a plant_v they_o thrust_v down_o their_o root_n below_o the_o good_a soil_n into_o that_o which_o be_v barren_a and_o unfruitful_a which_o cause_v your_o tree_n to_o be_v injure_v by_o canker_n moss_n and_o to_o be_v bad_a bearer_n and_o ill_a
