true_o apodicticall_a and_o a_o firm_a chain_n of_o truth_n these_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v well_o mind_v 1_o as_o in_o a_o chain_n one_o link_n lay_v hold_v on_o or_o go_v within_o another_o so_o do_v

one_o link_n be_v join_v fast_o to_o another_o essential_o that_o it_o may_v hold_v together_o inseparable_o so_o here_o every_o predicate_a may_v utter_v something_o essential_a of_o its_o subject_n that_o it_o may_v be_v true_a without_o exception_n 3_o as_o in_o a_o chain_n one_o link_n be_v couple_v with_o another_o till_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o length_n be_v make_v up_o so_o in_o a_o
