admit_v in_o other_o animal_n and_o though_o these_o two_o act_n which_o some_o reckon_v to_o be_v but_o one_o be_v produce_v by_o the_o same_o faculty_n as_o the_o act_n of_o memory_n yet_o they_o

for_o we_o can_v call_v to_o mind_n thing_n that_o we_o never_o have_v in_o our_o memory_n before_o and_o i_o judge_v there_o be_v this_o difference_n between_o recordatio_fw-la and_o

we_o must_v here_o make_v one_o observation_n more_o that_o as_o the_o peripatetic_n common_o distinguish_v three_o distinct_a thing_n in_o every_o faculty_n so_o we_o must_v note_v the_o same_o in_o that_o of_o memory_n first_o there_o be_v the_o faculty_n power_n or_o ability_n of_o memory_n which_o we_o fancy_v to_o reside_v in_o the_o soul_n as_o in_o its_o proper_a subject_n and_o to_o
