that_o that_o likewse_n be_v not_o perform_v in_o the_o eye_n it_o be_v as_o evident_a the_o cause_n why_o it_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v so_o be_v because_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a that_o the_o

the_o bottom_n of_o the_o eye_n the_o image_n of_o thing_n be_v invert_v and_o consequent_o the_o thing_n themselves_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v invert_v man_n will_v seem_v to_o we_o with_o their_o
