because_o no_o difference_n be_v in_o the_o affection_n there_o be_v no_o sense_n no_o consciousness_n of_o it_o but_o dislocation_n be_v soon_o perceive_v as_o also_o it_o be_v when_o any_o part_n

that_o one_o that_o be_v that_o conception_n will_v not_o proper_o be_v cogitation_n but_o will_v be_v as_o toubh_v without_o feeling_n however_o since_o there_o be_v so_o great_a a_o diversity_n of_o

of_o mind_n attention_n of_o mind_n be_v the_o application_n of_o it_o unto_o object_n and_o therefore_o in_o man_n be_v call_v mind_v without_o attention_n no_o conception_n and_o without_o

by_o a_o new_a thought_n or_o conception_n beside_o there_o be_v many_o other_o thing_n that_o do_v make_v for_o this_o opinion_n that_o all_o animal_n sensation_n be_v cogitation_n particular_o that_o great_a sagacity_n that_o be_v in_o some_o animal_n which_o can_v be_v account_v for_o with_o any_o clearness_n but_o by_o allow_v to_o they_o a_o great_a degree_n of_o knowledge_n and_o

the_o term_n mind_n be_v appropriate_v by_o way_n of_o excellency_n to_o the_o understanding_n or_o reason_n this_o be_v a_o faculty_n that_o have_v the_o participation_n of_o mind_n in_o a_o high_a
