this_o be_v which_o we_o call_v beauty_n i_o will_v affirm_v that_o it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o a_o most_o precious_a quality_n which_o shine_v in_o the_o universal_a frame_n grow_v from_o

divide_v into_o two_o part_n the_o one_o corporeal_a and_o sensible_a the_o other_o incorporeal_a and_o intelligible_a so_o be_v there_o two_o beauty_n the_o one_o sensible_a the_o other_o intelligible_a but_o in_o that_o the_o begin_n of_o all_o our_o knowledge_n be_v derive_v from_o sense_n we_o will_v first_o entreat_v of_o beauty_n sensible_a the_o which_o be_v no_o other_o but_o
