no_o reason_n assign_v why_o i●_n shall_v be_v otherwise_o but_o because_o there_o be_v more_o of_o the_o sensible_a nature_n in_o one_o part_n than_o there_o be_v in_o another_o but_o how_o can_v there_o be_v more_o or_o less_o when_o the_o whole_a fe●ls_n both_o wherefore_o if_o there_o be_v degree_n of_o pain_n in_o the_o sentient_a part_n if_o we_o c●n_v feel_v pain_n in_o this_o part_n and_o none_o in_o the_o other_o and_o can_v at_o once_o feel_v several_a distinct_a pain_n in_o several_a distinct_a part_n than_o the_o soul_n must_v either_o feel_v by_o part_n which_o a_o indivisible_a cann●t_n or_o sensation_n must_v belong_v to_o another_o principle_n who_o property_n be_v extension_n and_o divisibility_n and_o if_o those_o property_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o body_n
