as_o it_o be_v a_o advance_a eyebrow_n be_v of_o a_o very_a brisk_a isabel_n colour_n with_o the_o lustre_n of_o a_o topaz_n the_o cornea_n be_v raise_v with_o a_o great_a convexity_n upon_o the_o

to_o which_o we_o judge_v that_o our_o eagle_n must_v be_v refer_v as_o well_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o particularity_n which_o do_v make_v they_o agree_v with_o these_o species_n as_o by_o reason_n that_o those_o of_o the_o other_o species_n be_v want_v in_o they_o thus_o we_o do_v think_v that_o two_o of_o our_o eagle_n which_o be_v the_o least_o may_v be_v range_v under_o the_o last_o species_n which_o be_v the_o true_a eagle_n common_o call_v in_o french_a royal_a by_o aristotle_n gnesios_n and_o by_o aelian_a chrysaeto_n and_o asterias_n by_o reason_n that_o the_o red_a and_o

haliaeto_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o eagle_n which_o reside_v near_o the_o sea_n that_o be_v report_v to_o have_v bluish_a foot_n because_o that_o these_o two_o eagle_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o
