power_n to_o see_v although_o her_o window_n be_v choke_v with_o mist_n and_o cloud_n the_o imperfection_n be_v not_o in_o the_o agent_n but_o instrument_n the_o soul_n have_v one_o intelligence_n

of_o the_o sense_n so_o that_o she_o can_v use_v those_o faculty_n although_o their_o root_n still_o rest_n in_o her_o substance_n but_o as_o the_o body_n when_o it_o live_v by_o the_o wit_n and_o
