the_o work_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v that_o the_o definition_n ought_v to_o be_v so_o close_o and_o comprehensive_a that_o there_o shall_v hardly_o be_v find_v any_o thing_n either_o in_o

order_n in_o any_o sort_n of_o science_n see_v then_o that_o wit_n and_o ability_n in_o man_n be_v the_o entire_a subject_n of_o this_o book_n it_o will_v be_v convenient_a first_o to_o understand_v the_o definition_n and_o what_o it_o essential_o comprehend_v for_o when_o we_o right_o apprehend_v that_o we_o shall_v then_o also_o find_v the_o true_a method_n of_o teach_v this_o new_a doctrine_n and_o whereas_o the_o name_n as_o the_o same_o philosopher_n observe_v be_v as_o the_o instrument_n by_o which_o the_o substance_n of_o thing_n be_v teach_v and_o distinguish_v we_o must_v know_v

be_v see_v in_o the_o invention_n of_o this_o word_n ingenio_fw-la to_o find_v it_o out_o there_o will_v be_v require_v much_o subtle_a speculation_n and_o strong_a natural_a philosophy_n by_o which_o

it_o be_v our_o province_n to_o discourse_v of_o the_o first_o which_o be_v well_o know_v there_o be_v more_o difficulty_n in_o the_o second_o because_o their_o birth_n and_o manner_n of_o

for_o like_a as_o the_o plant_n or_o animal_n in_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o first_o sort_n give_v a_o real_a and_o substantial_a be_v to_o what_o they_o produce_v which_o they_o have_v not_o
