which_o be_v not_o always_o joint_o exercise_v together_o as_o we_o see_v and_o not_o feel_v and_o feel_v and_o not_o see_v do_v teach_v we_o that_o light_n and_o heat_n be_v divers_a quality_n and_o both_o in_o reason_n and_o nature_n may_v be_v conceive_v to_o subsist_v the_o one_o without_o the_o other_o this_o will_v best_o appear_v by_o the_o definition_n of_o both_o which_o evermore_o

in_o the_o subject_n or_o how_o light_n shall_v subsist_v in_o heat_n be_v likewise_o a_o accidental_a quality_n be_v difficulty_n which_o in_o my_o judgement_n will_v not_o easy_o be_v answer_v except_o we_o can_v prove_v that_o one_o accident_n may_v be_v the_o subject_n of_o another_o which_o be_v against_o all_o philosophy_n this_o then_o alone_o although_o it_o do_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o light_n and_o heat_n be_v two_o divers_a quality_n yet_o to_o make_v it_o more_o apparent_a daily_a observation_n do_v show_v that_o one_o may_v be_v and_o remain_v in_o the_o absence_n of_o
