to_o believe_v it_o i_o answer_v from_o his_o own_o word_n that_o their_o supposal_n then_o be_v absurd_a and_o impossible_a since_o he_o himself_o assure_v we_o 14._o treatise_n one_a one_a xx_o n._n

this_o be_v a_o error_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o text_n give_v no_o manner_n of_o colour_n to_o and_o therefore_o our_o author_n can_v with_o any_o reason_n pretend_v as_o he_o do_v whether_o
