which_o we_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o lump_n of_o stupid_a and_o insensible_a flesh_n incapable_a of_o perceive_v either_o pleasure_n or_o pain_n so_o that_o all_o sensation_n be_v found_v in_o

and_o indeed_o all_o the_o advantage_n of_o live_v consist_v in_o live_v in_o a_o sense_n of_o pleasure_n and_o therefore_o it_o have_v be_v very_o much_o dispute_v among_o philosopher_n whether_o
