part_n of_o very_o differ_v consistence_n and_o curious_a as_o well_o as_o differ_v texture_n 4._o i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o body_n may_v be_v say_v in_o a_o very_a favourable_a sense_n to_o

pain_n yet_o a_o pin_n may_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o its_o figure_n be_v fit_v to_o cause_v pain_n in_o case_n it_o be_v move_v against_o a_o man_n finger_n whereas_o a_o bullet_n or_o other_o blunt_a body_n move_v against_o it_o with_o no_o great_a force_n will_v not_o cause_v any_o such_o perception_n of_o pain_n and_o thus_o snow_n though_o if_o there_o be_v no_o lucid_a body_n nor_o
