effect_n of_o that_o vital_a principle_n which_o we_o call_v the_o vital_a or_o animal_n soul_n which_o mould_v the_o body_n to_o its_o specifical_a shape_n and_o certain_o have_v descartes_n and_o

of_o the_o heavenly_a body_n their_o orderly_a position_n and_o motion_n their_o wonderful_a influence_n and_o yet_o all_o these_o put_v together_o fall_v short_a of_o a_o full_a exhibition_n of_o
