but_o to_o many_o who_o see_v he_o and_o converse_v with_o he_o at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o be_v a_o maxim_n in_o philosophy_n that_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o understanding_n do_v depend_v

there_o be_v nothing_o which_o do_v obstruct_v it_o in_o its_o function_n more_o than_o these_o outward_a object_n with_o which_o we_o do_v converse_v upon_o which_o account_n the_o understanding_n
