out_o hereafter_o i_o be_o far_a persuade_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o conceive_v a_o mind_n without_o thought_n though_o it_o be_v easy_a enough_o to_o conceive_v one_o without_o actual_a

consequent_o exceed_v great_a but_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o say_v first_o that_o pure_o intellectual_a joy_n leave_v the_o mind_n to_o its_o entire_a liberty_n and_o take_v up_o but_o very_o
