to_o work_v truth_n if_o these_o work_n of_o truth_n be_v the_o soul_n essence_n and_o the_o soul_n must_v be_v during_o that_o cessation_n or_o error_n as_o true_o non_fw-la ens_fw-la as_o before_o

position_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o itself_o to_o which_o he_o answer_v by_o deny_v that_o the_o soul_n do_v at_o all_o act_n upon_o falsehood_n and_o that_o upon_o this_o ground_n because_o falsehood_n be_v not_o a_o real_a be_v upon_o which_o the_o soul_n can_v work_v for_o its_o nature_n be_v privative_a and_o no_o real_a be_v how_o can_v the_o soul_n or_o truth_n work_v upon_o

and_o therefore_o that_o falsehood_n want_v a_o real_a be_v be_v not_o enough_o to_o show_v that_o the_o understanding_n can_v work_v upon_o it_o and_o this_o in_o effect_n he_o grant_v soon_o after_o for_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o soul_n while_o it_o pronounce_v a_o false_a position_n do_v real_o act_v verè_fw-la agere_fw-la he_o reply_v that_o there_o be_v in_o this_o action_n two_o

which_o be_v nothing_o and_o so_o a_o not-thinking_a when_o mistake_v a_o man_n catch_v at_o a_o shadow_n in_o catch_v he_o do_v true_o act_n but_o to_o catch_v a_o shadow_n be_v to_o catch_v nothing_o now_o to_o catch_v nothing_o and_o not_o to_o catch_v to_o act_v nothing_o and_o not_o to_o act_v be_v all_o one_o so_o to_o think_v be_v real_a but_o to_o think_v amiss_o be_v nothing_o and_o all_o one_o with_o not-thinking_a he_o grant_v therefore_o that_o the_o soul_n pronounce_v or_o understanding_n a_o false_a position_n or_o think_v amiss_o do_v real_o think_v real_o act_n now_o i_o ask_v while_o it_o do_v real_o think_v what_o do_v it_o think_v what_o do_v it_o act_n or_o upon_o what_o rather_o certain_o it_o must_v either_o be_v falsehood_n or_o nothing_o for_o what_o else_o it_o shall_v be_v neither_o do_v his_o lordship_n show_v nor_o can_v i_o imagine_v if_o it_o act_n upon_o falshood_n the_o false_a position_n then_o may_v falshood_n be_v the_o object_n of_o a_o real_a act_n if_o it_o act_v upon_o nothing_o than_o what_o hinder_v but_o that_o falsehood_n although_o it_o be_v nothing_o may_v yet_o be_v the_o object_n of_o this_o act_n object_n but_o he_o will_v say_v if_o the_o soul_n do_v act_n upon_o falsehood_n then_o must_v it_o become_v falsehood_n that_o be_v a_o vanity_n a_o lie_n a_o nothing_o for_o i_o conceive_v ●aith_o he_o the_o agent_n
