sensation_n be_v those_o which_o very_o little_o affect_v the_o soul_n and_o which_o be_v neither_o very_a agreeable_a nor_o very_o troublesome_a as_o a_o moderate_a light_n all_o colour_n ordinary_a

for_o example_n the_o sensation_n that_o we_o have_v of_o light_n be_v weak_a when_o the_o light_n of_o a_o flambeau_n be_v weak_a and_o languish_a or_o very_o far_o from_o we_o and_o afterward_o this_o sensation_n may_v become_v indifferent_a if_o the_o flambeau_n be_v bring_v near_o enough_o to_o we_o and_o at_o last_o it_o may_v become_v very_o strong_a and_o lively_a if_o the_o flambeau_n be_v bring_v so_o near_o our_o eye_n that_o they_o be_v dazzle_v with_o it_o or_o else_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o sun_n thus_o the_o sensation_n of_o light_n may_v be_v strong_a weak_a or_o
