this_o same_o we_o shall_v be_v much_o better_o govern_v by_o he_o that_o be_v of_o two_o year_n experience_n then_o by_o he_o that_o have_v ten_o of_o science_n the_o theme_n of_o this_o our_o

hold_v it_o in_o estimation_n since_o the_o invention_n proceed_v of_o matter_n well_o prove_v and_o not_o dream_v or_o divine_v but_o the_o matter_n be_v that_o in_o this_o treatise_n we_o shall_v
