second_o that_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o motion_n always_o to_o include_v a_o succession_n of_o time_n and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v violent_a at_o the_o first_o instant_a it_o be_v communicate_v this_o be_v suppose_v it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o first_o man_n be_v never_o surprise_v by_o any_o violent_a grief_n that_o be_v capable_a of_o make_v he_o unhappy_a for_o it_o be_v in_o his_o

do_v not_o fail_v to_o do_v it_o since_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v happy_a and_o that_o aversion_n be_v natural_o join_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o pain_n thus_o adam_n never_o feel_v any_o violent_a
