whether_o appear_v and_o not-appearing_a be_v a_o real_a or_o only_a imaginary_a difference_n if_o a_o real_a difference_n then_o will_v there_o be_v somewhat_o real_a then_o which_o be_v not_o now_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

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

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
