A28966	The excellency of theology compar'd with natural philosophy (as both are objects of men's study) / discours'd of in a letter to a friend by T.H.R.B.E. ... ; to which are annex'd some occasional thouhts about the excellency and grounds of the mechanical hypothesis / by the same author.	Boyle, Robert, 1627-1691.	1674 (1674)	Wing B3955; ESTC R32857	109,294	312

and_o according_o way_n have_v be_v propose_v by_o famous_a author_n to_o convey_v water_n from_o one_o side_n of_o a_o high_a mountain_n to_o the_o other_o whereas_o first_o the_o unexpected_a
