consideration_n he_o perceive_v that_o beside_o this_o extension_n there_o be_v another_o notion_n of_o that_o wherein_o the_o extension_n do_v exist_v see_v that_o it_o can_v not_o exist_v of_o

have_v run_v over_o all_o their_o attribute_n in_o his_o mind_n they_o seem_v unto_o he_o to_o be_v comprehend_v under_o these_o three_o kind_n whereof_o the_o first_o belong_v to_o they_o in_o

second_o kind_n of_o attribute_n be_v such_o as_o agree_v to_o they_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n as_o it_o be_v consider_v in_o itself_o as_o that_o they_o be_v clear_a bright_a and_o

which_o suffer_v any_o hurt_n or_o loss_n or_o be_v molest_v with_o any_o impediment_n which_o he_o be_v able_a to_o remove_v from_o it_o but_o he_o shall_v remove_v it_o and_o that_o when_o he_o
