with_o our_o fight_n which_o as_o the_o most_o incomprehensible_a deserve_v our_o first_o debate_n i_o conceive_v it_o be_v occasion_v when_o the_o tunique_fw-la of_o the_o eye_n who_o pore_n be_v

for_o imagine_v to_o yourself_o that_o those_o fire_n of_o your_o eye_n have_v past_a through_o the_o glass_n and_o find_v behind_o it_o a_o body_n not_o transparent_a which_o reject_v they_o they_o
