and_o that_o be_v call_v science_n as_o in_o mankind_n for_o example_n it_o be_v a_o perpetual_a and_o natural_a order_n and_o course_n for_o man_n to_o beget_v man_n the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o other_o live_a creature_n but_o in_o thing_n immutable_a and_o supernatural_a we_o have_v need_n of_o another_o kind_n of_o light_n as_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n q._n why_o
