the_o small_a atom_n be_v too_o science_n little_a to_o be_v perceptible_a by_o our_o sense_n as_o though_o it_o be_v confuse_v as_o to_o itself_o may_v serve_v to_o distinguish_v it_o from_o all_o

have_v its_o own_o nature_n or_o essence_n in_o it_o and_o also_o all_o the_o mode_n or_o accident_n belong_v to_o it_o thus_o when_o we_o see_v a_o bag_n of_o sand_n or_o wheat_n pour_v out_o our_o

and_o apt_a to_o be_v draw_v or_o parcele_v out_o thence_o by_o our_o abstractive_a consideration_n of_o it_o 7._o last_o that_o our_o distinct_a knowledge_n or_o science_n be_v build_v on_o our_o

hence_o our_o soul_n in_o this_o state_n can_v have_v no_o distinct_a or_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o by_o piecemeal_n or_o by_o distinct_a different_a partial_a inadequate_a or_o as_o they_o be_v general_o and_o proper_o call_v abstract_v notion_n as_o mr._n locke_n have_v frequent_o and_o judicious_o exemplify_v in_o the_o several_a conception_n or_o notion_n we_o have_v of_o
