the_o four_o page_n our_o gunner_n have_v more_o firework_n to_o wit_n his_o note_n for_o progression_n be_v invalid_a and_o of_o no_o force_n for_o say_v he_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o unity_n for_o the_o first_o term_n of_o this_o progression_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o note_n for_o progression_n be_v of_o force_n and_o truth_n and_o unity_n of_o use_n thus_o the_o question_n itself_o
