neither_o be_v the_o soul_n a_o quality_n of_o the_o body_n for_o the_o quality_n of_o every_o body_n be_v subject_a to_o sense_n but_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o sense_n but_o to_o

furthermore_o aristotle_n say_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o continued-motion_n unmoveable_a of_o itself_o be_v move_v accidental_o and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o unlikely_a we_o shall_v be_v move_v
