the_o knowledge_n of_o great_a thing_n but_o by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o lesser_a thing_n which_o the_o follow_a aphorism_n will_v teach_v we_o vi_o nature_n unfold_v herself_o in_o the_o least_o

the_o truth_n follow_v who_o footstep_n yet_o lay_v strong_a foundation_n from_o the_o scripture_n we_o will_v dress_v out_o a_o little_a theatre_n of_o nature_n not_o for_o disputation_n but_o for_o
