agree_v that_o these_o rational_a instinct_n as_o i_o call_v they_o be_v not_o always_o so_o vigorous_a and_o uniform_a in_o their_o act_n as_o the_o animal_n instinct_n of_o brute_n be_v in_o their_o

descend_v be_v more_o uniform_a than_o the_o very_a instinct_n of_o brute_n who_o have_v a_o more_o complicate_v form_n or_o nature_n but_o as_o this_o accidental_a interruption_n of_o rational_a

as_o touch_v traditional_a communication_n and_o traduction_n of_o those_o truth_n that_o i_o call_v connatural_a and_o engrave_v i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o many_o of_o those_o truth_n have_v have_v the_o help_n of_o that_o derivation_n but_o first_o such_o a_o tradition_n possible_o have_v not_o be_v without_o interruption_n by_o evil_a education_n and_o yet_o these_o sentiment_n have_v obtain_v

concern_v the_o exercise_n and_o act_n of_o our_o intellectual_a faculty_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v agree_v that_o those_o that_o i_o call_v connatural_a principle_n be_v in_o themselves_o high_o
