by_o the_o way_n that_o the_o difference_n of_o spirit_n between_o man_n and_o man_n make_v be_v the_o great_a and_o most_o important_a difference_n that_o in_o moral_a matter_n can_v be_v observe_v which_o hold_v also_o in_o beast_n bird_n and_o other_o creature_n according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o their_o inferior_a spirit_n or_o natural_a instinct_n as_o for_o example_n two_o egg_n put_v
