that_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o they_o through_o a_o microscope_n we_o can_v perceive_v in_o the_o middle_n or_o hollow_a part_n of_o they_o many_o spongy_a bladder_n by_o which_o they_o continual_o

and_o this_o the_o rather_o for_o that_o we_o find_v that_o a_o great_a strength_n and_o force_n be_v in_o the_o tooth_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o daily_o take_v notice_n that_o when_o child_n come_v to_o get_v their_o tooth_n they_o about_o the_o same_o time_n also_o begin_v to_o speak_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o the_o tooth_n by_o reason_n of_o age_n or_o else_o through_o infirmity_n or_o

a_o discourse_n so_o well_o as_o former_o but_o will_v soon_o be_v tire_v and_o last_o do_v it_o not_o follow_v that_o the_o tooth_n be_v chief_o give_v to_o man_n for_o these_o three_o reason_n and_o

his_o voice_n moreover_o see_v that_o the_o tooth_n be_v ordinary_o thirty_o two_o in_o number_n even_o just_a as_o many_o as_o the_o hebrew_n letter_n be_v which_o likewise_o make_v up_o thirty_o
