they_o must_v be_v consider_v as_o a_o kind_n of_o engine_n that_o be_v both_o so_o frame_v and_o so_o place_v among_o other_o body_n that_o sometime_o agent_n otherwise_o invalid_a may_v have_v notable_a operation_n upon_o they_o because_o those_o operation_n be_v further_v by_o the_o mechanism_n of_o the_o body_n wrought_v on_o and_o the_o relation_n which_o other_o body_n and_o physisical_a cause_n have_v to_o it_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o effect_n be_v due_a not_o precise_o to_o the_o external_a agent_n that_o it_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o but_o in_o great_a measure_n to_o the_o action_n of_o one_o part_n of_o the_o body_n itself_o that_o be_v wrought_v on_o upon_o another_o and_o assist_v by_o the_o concur_v action_n of_o the_o neighbour_a body_n
