something_o like_o this_o come_v into_o my_o mind_n and_o i_o fear_v lest_o my_o understanding_n may_v be_v whole_o blind_v if_o i_o look_v upon_o thing_n themselves_o with_o my_o eye_n and_o attempt_v to_o touch_v they_o with_o my_o sense_n we_o sense_n what_o way_n socrates_n take_v in_o his_o researches_a of_o the_o first_o cause_n come_v to_o knowledge_n thereof_o by_o certain_a
