into_o we_o by_o mean_n of_o this_o candle_n i_o apprehend_v more_o certain_o daily_o that_o reason_n be_v not_o that_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n and_o therefore_o neither_o that_o candle_n of_o god_n yea_o neither_o the_o light_n of_o that_o candle_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o far_o different_a light_n of_o that_o candle_n by_o the_o vigour_n or_o efficacy_n whereof_o it_o may_v pierce_v a_o knowable_a thing_n grant_v unto_o it_o indeed_o i_o thorough_o behold_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o in_o need_n of_o yea_o nor_o the_o framer_n of_o a_o syllogism_n because_o it_o will_v not_o

then_o in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o know_v that_o neither_o do_v sense_n frame_v a_o syllogism_n but_o that_o reason_n the_o framer_n of_o demonstration_n do_v possess_v the_o animal_n understanding_n or_o imagination_n which_o be_v a_o mean_a between_o the_o sense_n and_o the_o intellect_n will_v thou_o ask_v why_o the_o light_n shine_v why_o the_o water_n be_v moist_a yield_v to_o

discourse_n no_o premise_n there_o also_o no_o conclusion_n consequence_n or_o reason_n be_v find_v notwithstanding_o a_o knowledge_n of_o the_o premise_n be_v more_o certain_a than_o of_o the_o

demonstration_n whence_o i_o conclude_v with_o myself_o first_o that_o reason_n do_v generate_v nothing_o but_o a_o dim_a or_o dark_a knowledge_n or_o a_o think_n then_o next_o that_o the_o
