in_o such_o sort_n that_o the_o plumb_n line_n which_o in_o the_o former_a position_n be_v suspend_v at_o the_o centre_n a_o and_o beat_v upon_o the_o limb_n in_o d_o be_v now_o hang_v upon_o the_o

the_o line_n a_o b_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o level_n and_o by_o consequence_n the_o telescope_n ought_v to_o have_v remain_v point_v at_o the_o same_o distant_a object_n which_o do_v mark_v the_o
