man_n therefore_o to_o say_v that_o the_o sight_n be_v deceive_v the_o pirrhonians_n do_v further_o allege_v that_o our_o sight_n be_v deceive_v when_o we_o think_v that_o a_o oar_n be_v break_v in_o

the_o reason_n hereof_o come_v not_o of_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o the_o sight_n but_o it_o proceed_v of_o this_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o one_o have_v see_v a_o thing_n he_o sudden_o and_o immediate_o
