A34554	A discourse written to a learned frier by M. Des Fourneillis, shewing that this systeme of M. Des Cartes, and particularly his opinion concerning brutes, does contain nothing dangerous, and that all he hath written of both seems to have been taken out of the first chapter of Genesis ; to which is annexed the Systeme general of the same Cartesian philosophy, by Francis Bayle ... ; Englished out of French.; Copie d'une lettre écrite à un sçavant religieux de la Compagnie de Jesus.

according_a to_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o grossness_n or_o solidity_n now_o as_o we_o have_v note_v that_o they_o be_v all_o cover_v with_o their_o water_n and_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o

reflection_n upon_o the_o change_n which_o have_v happen_v to_o the_o earth_n by_o this_o super-abundance_n of_o water_n this_o be_v perhaps_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o cloud_n rains_n and_o the_o
