it_o be_v nevertheless_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v far_o bright_a than_o the_o light_n we_o see_v and_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o light_n and_o the_o

earthquake_n be_v not_o usual_a and_o frequent_a or_o none_o at_o all_o people_z be_v as_o wicked_a and_o impious_a if_o not_o more_o then_o in_o those_o where_o earthquake_n be_v common_a but_o the_o
