of_o essence_n he_o can_v mean_v spirit_n as_o admit_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o the_o whole_a comprehension_n of_o nature_n if_o body_n it_o will_v not_o infer_v what_o he_o aim_v at_o unless_o

it_o no_o where_o as_o i_o have_v already_o note_v if_o by_o modification_n he_o mean_v the_o modification_n of_o matter_n or_o body_n that_o run_v still_o upon_o the_o former_a principle_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o body_n in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o he_o prove_v nothing_o but_o upon_o a_o beg_v hypothesis_n and_o that_o a_o false_a one_o as_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o

hide_v that_o dearly-huged_a hypothesis_n of_o his_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o body_n in_o the_o world_n under_o so_o general_a and_o uncertain_a term_n 6._o the_o word_n therefore_o in_o the_o other_o sense_n have_v no_o pretence_n to_o conclude_v any_o thing_n let_v we_o see_v how_o far_o they_o will_v prevail_v in_o this_o take_v no_o thing_n for_o no_o essence_n or_o no_o

or_o faculty_n of_o any_o essence_n change_v itself_o for_o it_o be_v the_o essence_n itself_o that_o exert_v itself_o into_o these_o variation_n of_o modes_n if_o no_o external_a agent_n be_v the_o
