furthermore_o aristotle_n say_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o continued-motion_n unmoveable_a of_o itself_o be_v move_v accidental_o and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o unlikely_a we_o shall_v be_v move_v

motion_n except_o it_o receive_v it_o from_o the_o soul_n see_v it_o can_v have_v any_o motion_n from_o itself_o it_o appear_v therefore_o that_o when_o aristotle_n go_v about_o to_o declare_v the_o
