eloquent_o proper_a style_n the_o diffusion_n of_o the_o discourse_n the_o multitude_n of_o experience_n even_o in_o art_n wherein_o i_o be_o total_o ignorant_a do_v exclude_v i_o from_o the_o

the_o put_v it_o in_o a_o different_a letter_n as_o a_o citation_n from_o the_o place_n and_o therefore_o i_o see_v even_o when_o you_o make_v show_v to_o cite_v the_o very_a word_n the_o reader_n must_v look_v the_o place_n if_o he_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v though_o you_o seem_v to_o speak_v of_o a_o point_n which_o all_o peripatetic_n acknowledge_v to_o be_v do_v by_o aristotle_n long_o
