of_o animal_n he_o see_v that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n under_o this_o consideration_n then_o as_o he_o contemplate_v they_o distinct_o according_a to_o their_o

they_o be_v all_o partaker_n and_o that_o all_o of_o they_o in_o that_o respect_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n whereupon_o as_o he_o take_v a_o thorough_a view_n of_o the_o generality_n of_o plant_n he_o

unto_o this_o when_o he_o therefore_o consider_v that_o body_n in_o its_o essence_n as_o strip_v naked_a of_o all_o these_o operation_n which_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n seem_v to_o proceed_v from_o
