it_o either_o in_o the_o greek_a latin_a english_a etc._n etc._n yet_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o philosophy_n of_o thing_n whatsoever_o have_v a_o essence_n must_v likewise_o have_v a_o act_n either_o of_o be_v or_o become_v or_o of_o do_v or_o be_v do_v or_o of_o make_v or_o be_v make_v to_o be_v or_o do_v and_o consequent_o every_o radical_a substantive_n which_o be_v capable_a of_o action_n shall_v have_v a_o active_a or_o passive_a form_v from_o it_o which_o be_v common_o call_v a_o verb._n as_o for_o such_o thing_n which_o have_v not_o of_o their_o own_o any_o proper_a act_n of_o do_v they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o the_o derivation_n of_o active_a and_o passive_a ob_fw-la defectum_fw-la materiae_fw-la as_o in_o the_o word_n stone_n mettle_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o verb_n belong_v to_o such_o radical_o can_v be_v only_a neuter_n denote_v the_o act_n of_o be_v or_o become_v unless_o when_o they_o be_v compound_v with_o the_o transcendental_a mark_n of_o causatio_fw-la which_o will_v add_v to_o they_o a_o transitive_a sense_n as_o petrifie_v metallifie_v etc._n etc._n v._o as_o for_o such_o other_o radical_o as_o be_v capable_a of_o action_n or_o passion_n these_o rule_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v concern_v they_o 1._o more_o general_o these_o two_o 1._o thing_n which_o according_a to_o common_a acception_n have_v belong_v to_o they_o any_o one_o proper_a act_n of_o do_v their_o verb_n active_n will_v denote_v this_o act_n for_o instance_n the_o verb_n or_o substantive_n active_a of_o the_o word_n fire_n water_n etc._n etc._n be_v to_o burn_v wet_a and_o so_o for_o those_o act_n of_o the_o several_a part_n tongue_n tooth_n mouth_n throat_n foot_n heel_n who_o active_a by_o this_o rule_n will_v be_v to_o lick_v bite_v devour_v swallow_v trample_v kick_v and_o the_o active_a of_o bow_n gun_n be_v to_o shoot_v as_o with_o a_o bow_n gun_n 2._o thing_n which_o have_v not_o according_a to_o common_a acception_n any_o one_o kind_n of_o peculiar_a act_n of_o do_v appropriate_a to_o they_o the_o active_n belong_v to_o such_o thing_n will_v signify_v in_o the_o general_n to_o act_n or_o do_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o such_o thing_n 2._o more_o particular_o these_o four_o 1._o the_o active_n belong_v to_o such_o radical_o as_o be_v substance_n whether_o absolute_a or_o relative_n do_v signify_v to_o act_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o such_o substance_n so_o in_o absolute_a substance_n the_o active_a of_o god_n spirit_n man_n will_v signify_v to_o act_n as_o god_n spirit_n man_n and_o so_o in_o relative_n substance_n the_o active_a of_o father_n judge_n magistrate_n be_v to_o act_n as_o a_o father_n judge_n magistrate_n 2._o the_o active_n of_o quality_n whether_o predicamental_a or_o transcendental_a do_v denote_v the_o act_n of_o those_o species_n with_o particular_a reference_n to_o the_o difference_n under_o which_o they_o be_v place_v so_o the_o active_a of_o east_n west_n obliquity_n etc._n etc._n be_v under_o the_o difference_n of_o situation_n must_v signify_v to_o situate_a a_o thing_n easterly_n westerly_n oblique_o the_o word_n of_o line_n surface_n body_n be_v under_o the_o difference_n of_o dimension_n the_o active_a belong_v to_o they_o must_v signify_v to_o dimensionate_a as_o either_o of_o these_o the_o word_n under_o the_o difference_n of_o figure_n must_v in_o their_o active_n signify_v to_o figure_n according_a to_o such_o particular_a shape_n those_o under_o the_o difference_n of_o time_n the_o active_n of_o present_a simultaneous_n newness_n oldness_n sooness_n etc._n etc._n must_v signify_v to_o act_n with_o such_o respect_n of_o time_n the_o active_n of_o the_o difference_n and_o species_n under_o measure_n shall_v regular_o signify_v to_o measure_v by_o number_n magnitude_n gravity_n valour_n duration_n the_o active_a of_o inch_n foot_n pace_n fathom_n be_v to_o measure_v by_o inch_n foot_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o for_o those_o other_o species_n of_o grain_n drachm_n etc._n etc._n farthing_n penny_n etc._n etc._n the_o active_a of_o minute_n hour_n day_n night_n etc._n etc._n will_v signify_v to_o continue_v for_o such_o portion_n or_o measure_n of_o time_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o difference_n duration_n under_o which_o these_o species_n be_v place_v the_o active_a of_o infancy_n childhood_n adolescency_n etc._n etc._n may_v signify_v to_o pass_v the_o time_n of_o one_o infancy_n childhood_n adolescency_n etc._n etc._n 3._o the_o active_a of_o such_o radical_o as_o be_v quality_n whether_o predicamental_a or_o transcendental_a signify_v to_o do_v or_o deal_v according_a to_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o say_a quality_n so_o the_o active_a of_o fidelity_n severity_n etc._n etc._n will_v signify_v to_o deal_v or_o act_n faithful_o severe_o etc._n etc._n the_o active_a of_o goodness_n evilness_n etc._n etc._n will_v signify_v to_o act_n or_o do_v well_o or_o ill_o etc._n etc._n 4._o the_o active_a of_o such_o radical_o as_o denote_v action_n need_v no_o other_o explication_n but_o this_o that_o some_o of_o they_o be_v active_a absolute_a which_o in_o the_o usual_a grammar_n be_v style_v neuter_n as_o sto_z sedeo_fw-la curro_fw-la other_o transitive_a denote_v a_o transient_a efficiency_n into_o which_o latter_a kind_n the_o former_a of_o these_o may_v be_v change_v as_o be_v say_v before_o by_o composition_n with_o the_o transcendental_a mark_n of_o causation_n there_o be_v several_a english_a verb_n which_o without_o admit_v any_o change_n by_o composition_n or_o inflexion_n have_v both_o a_o neuter_n and_o a_o transitive_a signification_n as_o corrupt_v feed_v starve_v famish_v move_v rest_v hang_v extend_v shrink_v stagger_v stay_v etc._n etc._n who_o sense_n be_v to_o be_v distinguish_v by_o the_o construction_n there_o be_v some_o verb_n of_o the_o same_o natural_a philosophical_a radix_fw-la which_o be_v yet_o express_v by_o different_a word_n as_o laugh_v deride_v weep_v bemoan_v must_v need_n necessitate_v etc._n etc._n and_o the_o different_a notion_n of_o these_o and_o such_o like_a verb_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o be_v express_v by_o the_o transcendental_a point_n of_o causation_n but_o by_o place_v after_o they_o such_o a_o noun_n substantive_n or_o pronoun_n substantive_n as_o may_v denote_v the_o object_n of_o those_o several_a act_n so_o the_o word_n laugh_v be_v put_v without_o any_o substantive_n follow_v do_v signify_v in_o the_o neuter_n sense_n the_o bare_a act_n of_o laugh_a but_o if_o the_o

substantive_n which_o signify_v the_o ens_fw-la or_o thing_n itself_o there_o be_v other_o substantive_n which_o denote_v the_o essence_n of_o thing_n style_v abstract_n and_o these_o may_v likewise_o be_v distinguish_v into_o neuter_n active_a passive_a that_o be_v style_v neuter_n which_o denote_v the_o naked_a essence_n of_o a_o thing_n without_o any_o inclination_n to_o action_n or_o passion_n as_o deity_n regality_n that_o be_v style_v a_o abstract_n active_a which_o imply_v a_o proclivity_n to_o action_n as_o regnativity_n amativeness_n or_o amorousness_n that_o be_v call_v passive_a which_o denote_v a_o capacity_n or_o fitness_n for_o receive_v or_o suffer_v of_o action_n as_o regibility_n amiableness_n such_o radical_o as_o be_v concretes_n be_v capable_a according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n denote_v by_o they_o to_o have_v all_o these_o three_o kind_n of_o abstract_n form_v from_o they_o whereas_o such_o radical_o as_o be_v themselves_o abstract_n neuter_n as_o namely_o several_a of_o those_o under_o the_o genus_n and_o difference_n of_o quality_n and_o action_n be_v capable_a only_o of_o the_o two_o latter_a kind_n to_o be_v form_v from_o they_o vii_o as_o noun_n substantive_n be_v the_o name_n which_o be_v give_v to_o thing_n consider_v simple_o and_o as_o subsist_v by_o themselves_o so_o noun_n adjective_n be_v the_o name_n which_o be_v give_v
