Fellow of the Royal Society. To which are subjoyn'd, by way of appendix some uncommon observations about vitiated sight. By the same author.

ought_v not_o to_o appear_v incredible_a that_o he_o that_o give_v man_n both_o the_o limb_n of_o his_o body_n and_o the_o rational_a endowment_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o that_o have_v make_v many_o

to_o require_v especial_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o part_n by_o which_o that_o office_n may_v be_v more_o commodious_o perform_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o may_v be_v a_o probable_a
