this_o whole_a mystery_n hereupon_o conclude_v what_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v feasible_a i_o write_v a_o cong_a of_o methodical_a argument_n which_o may_v unfold_v how_o and_o here_o i_o find_v myself_o in_o a_o wild_a labyrinth_n for_o i_o be_v soon_o by_o these_o study_v bring_v to_o see_v the_o rottenness_n both_o of_o logic_n and_o philosophy_n and_o find_v that_o he_o
