which_o upon_o the_o pertingencie_n of_o the_o object_n to_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n can_v fail_v to_o act_v that_o be_v the_o soul_n can_v fail_v to_o be_v affect_v thereby_o nor_o be_v it_o in_o

of_o they_o and_o the_o like_a obreption_n or_o unavoidable_a importunity_n of_o thought_n which_o offer_n or_o force_v themselves_o upon_o the_o mind_n may_v be_v observe_v even_o in_o the_o day_n
