it_o be_v so_o ridiculous_a then_o to_o think_v that_o this_o lady_n can_v understand_v these_o term_n as_o it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v laugh_v at_o then_o to_o trouble_v one_o self_n to_o answer_v and_o that_o invincible_a problem_n the_o quadrature_n of_o the_o circle_n as_o they_o call_v it_o which_o make_v i_o doubt_v that_o they_o think_v themselves_o wise_a for_o name_v the_o quadrature_n then_o square_n the_o circle_n who_o live_v that_o have_v not_o hear_v of_o it_o and_o who_o live_v that_o can_v do_v it_o and_o who_o be_v dead_a that_o have_v do_v it_o and_o put_v the_o case_n it_o be_v do_v what_o then_o why_o then_o it_o be_v square_v and_o that_o be_v all_o and_o that_o all_o be_v nothing_o much_o ado_n about_o nothing_o but_o we_o will_v leave_v these_o impertinent_a malicious_a and_o most_o false_a exception_n to_o the_o lady_n and_o her_o book_n and_o will_v now_o begin_v with_o her_o book_n of_o poem_n examine_v first_o her_o philosophy_n there_o that_o be_v a_o old_a opinion_n of_o atom_n say_v some_o witness_n democrates_n and_o many_o other_o it_o be_v very_o true_a they_o have_v talk_v of_o atom_n but_o do_v they_o ever_o dispose_v of_o they_o as_o they_o be_v there_o or_o tell_v you_o what_o several_a sort_n there_o be_v of_o they_o and_o what_o figure_n they_o bear_v and_o be_v join_v what_o form_n they_o produce_v of_o all_o kind_n in_o all_o thing_n if_o you_o have_v read_v any_o such_o thing_n before_o i_o will_v be_v bold_a to_o burn_v the_o book_n why_o then_o all_o these_o be_v new_a opinion_n and_o ground_v upon_o reason_n i_o say_v some_o but_o they_o be_v paradox_n what_o then_o i_o hope_v a_o paradox_n may_v be_v as_o true_a as_o a_o old_a opinion_n and_o a_o old_a opinion_n as_o false_a as_o a_o paradox_n for_o neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o make_v a_o truth_n either_o the_o new_a or_o the_o old_a for_o what_o be_v most_o reason_n &_o reasonable_a for_o in_o natural_a philosophy_n one_o opinion_n may_v be_v as_o true_a as_o another_o since_o no_o body_n know_v the_o first_o cause_n in_o nature_n of_o any_o thing_n then_o this_o lady_n philosophy_n be_v excellent_a and_o will_v be_v think_v so_o hereafter_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o it_o be_v whole_o and_o only_o wrought_v out_o of_o her_o own_o brain_n as_o there_o be_v many_o witness_n by_o the_o several_a sheet_n that_o she_o send_v

it_o be_v well_o know_v by_o the_o copy_n that_o those_o fault_n lie_v most_o upon_o the_o corrector_n and_o the_o printer_n but_o put_v the_o case_n there_o may_v be_v some_o slip_n in_o that_o
