upon_o any_o bait_n and_o true_o i_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o lay_v up_o a_o reserve_v to_o banter_n him_z for_o i_o can_v not_o think_v the_o doctor_n when_o rouse_v will_v have_v say_v so_o little_a in_o vindication_n of_o himself_o but_o again_o what_o shall_v i_o do_v now_o he_o say_v i_o fall_v hard_a upon_o case_n and_o true_o his_o case_n be_v such_o that_o i_o can_v avoid_v it_o but_o he_o bring_v cicero_n virgil_n ovid_n horace_n and_o plautus_n against_o i_o can_v i_o oppose_v they_o no_o but_o i_o can_v easy_o show_v that_o they_o will_v oppose_v he_o for_o though_o he_o be_v so_o vigorous_a these_o quotation_n be_v against_o he_o for_o opinioni_fw-la haud_fw-la natura_fw-la se_fw-la credidit_fw-la be_v false_a latin_a and_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v we_o be_v to_o consider_v

quod_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la consequens_fw-la v●●uperandum_fw-la est_fw-la so_o that_o though_o doctor_n leigh_n have_v join_v word_n if_o the_o connection_n be_v false_a the_o latin_a have_v no_o

because_o he_o be_v so_o zealous_a upon_o his_o sentence_n show_v he_o that_o the_o sense_n want_v connection_n and_o that_o none_o of_o the_o quote_v sentence_n will_v help_v he_o for_o in_o this_o sentence_n opinioni_fw-la haud_fw-la natura_fw-la se_fw-la credidit_fw-la the_o person_n be_v the_o accusative_a case_n and_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o dative_n where_o if_o credo_fw-la be_v take_v in_o a_o grammatical_a signification_n of_o that_o word_n it_o must_v signify_v to_o believe_v and_o then_o the_o english_a will_v be_v i_o believe_v myself_o to_o opinion_n not_o nature_n but_o the_o

to_o my_o opinion_n and_o not_o to_o nature_n how_o incoherent_a will_v the_o sense_n be_v and_o ridiculous_a but_o perhaps_o the_o doctor_n will_v say_v that_o credo_fw-la may_v signify_v i_o give_v

their_o texture_n and_o modification_n must_v be_v nothing_o but_o absurdity_n and_o let_v the_o doctor_n try_v if_o credo_fw-la will_v bear_v any_o other_o english_a sense_n better_o than_o what_o i_o have_v mention_v still_o remember_v to_o keep_v the_o person_n either_o in_o the_o accusative_a or_o dative_n case_n if_o he_o can_v as_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o can_v the_o sentence_n be_v false_a
