this_o tract_n the_o doctor_n seem_v sometime_o to_o be_v in_o earnest_n and_o sometime_o to_o speak-problematical_o or_o rather_o doubtful_o but_o however_o this_o opinion_n can_v consist_v with_o

without_o a_o actor_n if_o he_o he_o say_v there_o be_v a_o agent_n but_o not_o corporeal_a than_o that_o agent_n must_v be_v either_o a_o spirit_n or_o a_o accident_n if_o a_o spirit_n than_o we_o

have_v place_v man_n in_o the_o categorie_n of_o quality_n rather_o than_o of_o substance_n but_o we_o know_v that_o no_o accident_n be_v operatiu●_a but_o in_o and_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o principal_a agent_n neither_o can_v a_o accident_n be_v convey_v into_o the_o womb_n without_o the_o subject_n in_o which_o it_o be_v inherent_a and_o therefore_o iron_n touch_v without_o the_o
