this_o error_n of_o they_o have_v render_v the_o way_n to_o solid_a learning_n in_o other_o science_n also_o very_o abstruse_a and_o difficult_a therefore_o mathematician_n have_v resolve_v never_o to_o admit_v of_o any_o thing_n whatsoever_o without_o clear_a and_o perspicuous_a demonstration_n how_o imperfect_a the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o sense_n be_v when_o destitute_a of_o reason_n the_o
