of_o a_o strange_a tongue_n but_o by_o little_a and_o little_a the_o animal_n spirit_n by_o their_o continual_a course_n open_a and_o clear_v these_o passage_n so_o that_o in_o time_n one_o find_v

according_a to_o this_o explanation_n to_o resolve_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o question_n which_o respect_v habit_n as_o for_o example_n why_o child_n be_v more_o capable_a of_o acquire_v new_a

of_o thing_n that_o we_o shall_v afterward_o treat_v of_o but_o for_o what_o we_o shall_v speak_v of_o in_o this_o chapter_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o know_v there_o be_v natural_a

by_o some_o violent_a passion_n for_o then_o as_o we_o have_v already_o explain_v this_o communication_n charge_v the_o conformation_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o child_n and_o the_o mother_n be_v

the_o same_o kind_n yet_o it_o be_v always_o requisite_a to_o make_v the_o fruit_n entire_o like_o she_o so_o that_o although_o god_n foresee_v that_o this_o communication_n of_o the_o mother_n

of_o the_o creature_n it_o do_v not_o render_v the_o world_n imperfect_a we_o have_v sufficient_o explain_v what_o power_n the_o imagination_n of_o a_o mother_n have_v over_o the_o body_n of_o her_o
