be_v of_o most_o exquisite_a sense_n for_o so_o all_o motion_n must_v needs_o be_v painful_a but_o instead_o of_o that_o be_v environ_v with_o a_o gristle_n and_o join_v together_o with_o ligament_n that_o be_v void_a of_o all_o sense_n so_o that_o the_o pain_n must_v therefore_o necessary_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o neighbour_a part_n which_o be_v most_o sensible_a in_o the_o produce_v whereof_o see_v that_o this_o antecedent_n cause_o be_v also_o to_o be_v suppose_v to_o cooperate_v i_o be_o clear_o of_o opinion_n that_o without_o any_o let_v of_o blood_n either_o by_o way_n of_o
