therefore_o they_o be_v motion_n they_o may_v as_o well_o infer_v that_o light_n be_v a_o motion_n because_o it_o penetrate_v glass_n or_o that_o wine-vinegar_n oil_n or_o any_o substance_n that_o

and_o consume_v even_o the_o hard_a metal_n heat_n preserve_v as_o well_o as_o waste_v be_v it_o a_o motion_n in_o both_o regard_n again_o be_v there_o no_o difference_n between_o the_o agent_n and_o

till_o they_o be_v let_v out_o into_o the_o light_n what_o can_v be_v more_o ridiculous_a then_o to_o think_v that_o because_o the_o light_n give_v visibility_n therefore_o it_o give_v entity_n to_o
