from_o the_o profane_a writer_n who_o have_v most_o diligent_o labour_v in_o the_o search_n of_o natural_a cause_n whereunto_o doubtless_o they_o can_v not_o so_o clear_o have_v attain_v without_o

as_o thief_n in_o this_o behalf_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o a_o earthquake_n be_v three_o to_o wit_n the_o sun_n the_o other_o six_o planet_n and_o a_o spirit_n
