undeniable_a but_o the_o affair_n of_o politic_a government_n most_o weak_a the_o subject_n which_o it_o treat_v about_o most_o unconstant_a which_o be_v man_n unite_v and_o because_o the_o

because_o his_o philosophy_n point_v at_o a_o contempt_n of_o spirit_n who_o motion_n be_v not_o so_o clear_o discern_v as_o that_o of_o body_n especial_o in_o that_o succession_n in_o which_o body_n
