be_v common_a and_o proper_a to_o the_o present_a order_n of_o nature_n for_o in_o all_o the_o change_n that_o we_o observe_v of_o several_a substance_n destroy_v and_o other_o produce_v there_o never_o happen_v but_o a_o partial_a conversion_n for_o example_n we_o see_v wood_n or_o other_o combustible_a matter_n convert_v into_o fire_n the_o form_n of_o wood_n be_v destroy_v but_o the_o matter_n as_o be_v susceptible_a of_o any_o form_n remain_v under_o the_o form_n of_o fire_n that_o be_v before_o under_o that_o of_o wood_n so_o that_o you_o see_v in_o all_o these_o conversion_n one_o part_n be_v destroy_v but_o the_o other_o persist_v in_o be_v so_o in_o that_o which_o succeed_v one_o part_n be_v new_o produce_v but_o the_o other_o be_v extant_a before_o but_o in_o a_o

a_o adduction_n for_o if_o this_o substance_n into_o which_o the_o former_a be_v convert_v be_v before_o extant_a then_o there_o needs_o only_o a_o new_a ubication_n in_o the_o place_n where_o the_o

frustrate_a who_o never_o use_v any_o other_o matter_n than_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n but_o if_o this_o alone_o be_v sufficient_a then_o what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o the_o tradition_n of_o

can_v never_o have_v make_v a_o worse_a choice_n then_o to_o join_v these_o two_o matter_n and_o form_n together_o in_o order_n to_o constitute_v the_o entire_a essence_n of_o ordination_n for_o
