when_o they_o eat_v the_o same_o food_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o they_o to_o answer_v to_o this_o objection_n it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o when_o those_o person_n taste_v

body_n that_o be_v form_v and_o they_o have_v very_o little_a consistence_n in_o infant_n while_o they_o be_v in_o the_o womb_n and_o it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o if_o this_o mother_n have_v

of_o the_o body_n when_o they_o perceive_v any_o thing_n which_o surprise_v they_o and_o when_o they_o be_v agitate_a with_o any_o violent_a passion_n for_o that_o may_v cause_v the_o mark_n to_o be_v
