with_o his_o own_o shadow_n in_o a_o glass_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o sight_n judge_v of_o colour_n deceive_v and_o therein_o be_v not_o deceive_v when_o the_o distance_n be_v not_o too_o

that_o the_o reader_n may_v the_o full_a apprehend_v my_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n punctual_o than_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o judgement_n of_o sense_n as_o to_o

it_o know_v circumstantial_o conduce_v to_o the_o truth_n but_o can_v judge_v of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o its_o proper_a object_n so_o then_o to_o say_v sense_n see_v it_o in_o a_o glass_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o colour_n in_o the_o object_n be_v vain_a to_o reason_n which_o can_v discern_v that_o every_o accident_n follow_v its_o subject_n remove_v the_o glass_n from_o the_o
