without_o all_o question_n be_v positive_a as_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o very_a notion_n of_o it_o for_o it_o denote_v only_o that_o special_a dependence_n which_o a_o irregular_a act_n have_v upon_o

for_o that_o without_o question_n be_v positive_a but_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o irregularity_n of_o it_o 12._o here_o than_o i_o consider_v that_o according_a to_o the_o forego_n measure_v the_o irregularity_n of_o a_o action_n be_v not_o only_o its_o aberration_n from_o the_o rule_n but_o its_o cross_n or_o go_v contrary_a to_o it_o for_o it_o be_v not_o only_a its_o not_o promote_a but_o

and_o therefore_o good_a and_o bad_a action_n be_v not_o privative_o but_o contrary_o oppose_v and_o consequent_o both_o positive_a for_o contrary_n be_v always_o so_o 13._o for_o as_o to_o be_v in_o
