in_o infinite_a no_o union_n can_v combine_v heap_n for_o that_o have_v neither_o number_n point_n nor_o line_n though_o infinite_a can_v have_v no_o figure_n yet_o not_o lie_v all_o confu'sd_v in_o

unless_o three_o equal_a one_o if_o one_o and_o one_o make_v two_o and_o two_o and_o two_o make_v four_o yet_o there_o must_v be_v two_o equal_a one_o to_o make_v two_o and_o two_o equal_a two_o to_o make_v four_o and_o as_o two_o and_o one_o make_v three_o yet_o there_o must_v be_v two_o equal_a one_o join_v to_o a_o single_a one_o to_o make_v three_o or_o three_o equal_a single_a one_o to_o

equal_v the_o same_o lino_fw-la together_o put_v so_o two_o and_o one_o though_o odd_a be_v three_o yet_o three_o and_o three_o shall_v equal_v be_v like_o those_o that_o equal_a space_n backward_o
