life_n of_o these_o influence_n concentricate_a and_o see_v the_o earth_n be_v a_o body_n so_o solid_a that_o it_o give_v solidity_n to_o all_o other_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o that_o which_o

sophistical_a reason_n impertinent_a to_o my_o purpose_n neptune_n they_o make_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o that_o by_o lot_n to_o pluto_n as_o the_o young_a son_n they_o assign_v the_o
