but_o both_o their_o exterior_a shape_n and_o the_o water_n restlessness_n or_o activity_n the_o several_a part_n of_o water_n endeavour_v to_o drive_v those_o float_a body_n from_o they_o like_v as_o

glass_n be_v more_o transparent_a than_o water_n and_o yet_o more_o dense_a than_o water_n and_o some_o body_n will_v not_o be_v transparent_a if_o they_o be_v thick_a that_o be_v if_o they_o have_v a_o great_a number_n of_o part_n upon_o part_n when_o as_o they_o will_v be_v transparent_a if_o they_o be_v thin_a that_o be_v if_o they_o have_v few_o thin_a part_n upon_o each_o other_o so_o that_o
