accident_n by_o the_o like_a experience_n he_o conclude_v that_o the_o companion_n of_o diomedes_n be_v not_o turn_v into_o bird_n as_o be_v conceive_v because_o the_o say_a bird_n do_v build_v their_o nest_n and_o multiply_v their_o kind_n as_o other_o bird_n usual_o do_v now_o this_o propagation_n of_o their_o kind_n be_v a_o reality_n which_o give_v sufficient_a proof_n to_o conclude_v that_o these_o man_n be_v carry_v into_o other_o place_n by_o devil_n and_o these_o bird_n be_v cunning_o and_o sudden_o convey_v into_o their_o room_n neither_o can_v these_o bird_n be_v mere_o

imposture_n as_o s._n thomas_n have_v learned_o observe_v can_v have_v no_o long_a time_n of_o subsistence_n because_o they_o be_v not_o real_a nature_n thom._n but_o only_o common_a accident_n as_o

do_v make_v a_o full_a declaration_n of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o if_o we_o will_v yield_v unto_o probability_n and_o reason_n which_o be_v another_o ground_n that_o we_o will_v propound_v to_o
