two_o liberal_a art_n and_o of_o great_a use_n and_o necessity_n for_o all_o humane_a action_n in_o this_o life_n because_o they_o teach_v we_o measure_n and_o number_n by_o which_o all_o thing_n

when_o they_o first_o admit_v it_o such_o they_o continue_v it_o without_o alter_v the_o space_n of_o ten_o thousand_o year_n according_a to_o their_o manner_n of_o contemplation_n have_v a_o
