the_o same_o kind_n yet_o it_o be_v always_o requisite_a to_o make_v the_o fruit_n entire_o like_o she_o so_o that_o although_o god_n foresee_v that_o this_o communication_n of_o the_o mother_n

the_o soul_n perceive_v they_o only_o by_o the_o imagination_n if_o present_a by_o the_o impression_n which_o they_o make_v upon_o its_o sense_n and_o thus_o as_o we_o say_v before_o our_o soul_n
