74._o in_o its_o conjunction_n with_o the_o body_n nor_o its_o separation_n from_o it_o the_o foundation_n of_o his_o argument_n such_o as_o they_o be_v be_v a_o very_a unphilosophical_a and_o

of_o the_o body_n can_v be_v the_o person_n because_o a_o part_n can_v be_v the_o whole_a quod_fw-la erat_fw-la demonstrandum_fw-la now_o i_o ready_o grant_v that_o the_o person_n of_o a_o man_n as_o
