which_o be_v the_o truth_n have_v nothing_o real_a in_o it_o when_o for_o instance_n we_o say_v the_o cloth_n we_o measure_v be_v three_o ell_n long_o the_o cloth_n and_o the_o ell_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o the_o three_o ell_n and_o the_o cloth_n be_v no_o real_a be_v but_o only_o a_o relation_n intervening_a between_o they_o in_o say_v twice_o two_o be_v four_o the_o idea_n of_o the_o number_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o they_o be_v only_o a_o relation_n and_o thus_o according_a to_o our_o own_o opinion_n we_o see_v god_n in_o see_v eternal_a truth_n not_o that_o these_o truth_n be_v god_n but_o because_o the_o idea_n on_o which_o these_o truth_n depend_v exist_v in_o god_n and_o perhaps_o too_o st._n augustin_n understand_v it_o so_o we_o be_v
