be_v the_o most_o calamitous_a accident_n that_o can_v ever_o have_v befall_v the_o philosophical_a republic_n that_o 〈◊〉_d two_o unlucky_a ass_n so_o rude_o break_v off_o bathynous_a his_o

for_o true_a reason_n be_v so_o palpable_a and_o connatural_a to_o a_o man_n that_o when_o he_o find_v it_o he_o feel_v himself_o full_o satisfy_v and_o at_o ease_n philoth._n i_o commend_v your_o

of_o which_o i_o presume_v you_o will_v acknowledge_v yourself_o more_o certain_a that_o be_v the_o possibility_n of_o the_o pre-existence_n of_o the_o soul_n i_o demand_v of_o you_o if_o you_o be_v not_o very_o certain_a of_o that_o hyl._n yes_o sure_o i_o be_o i_o see_v no_o repugnancy_n at_o all_o in_o it_o philoth._n then_o you_o be_v not_o certain_a but_o that_o the_o soul_n do_v pre-exist_a

you_o make_v yourself_o obnoxious_a both_o to_o providence_n and_o to_o myself_o to_o providence_n in_o that_o you_o bring_v in_o uncertain_a allegation_n and_o accusation_n against_o she_o and_o so_o

be_v true_a philotheus_n you_o make_v i_o half_o ashamed_a of_o my_o inconstancy_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o do_v not_o find_v myself_o in_o that_o full_a ease_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v while_o as_o well_o the_o pre-existence_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o her_o non-preexistence_a be_v a_o uncertain_a hypothesis_n philoth._n if_o you_o can_v find_v divine_a providence_n perfect_a without_o
