of_o discourse_n and_o communication_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o kill_v a_o man_n with_o a_o sword_n or_o a_o hatchet_n be_v look_v on_o as_o no_o distinct_a species_n of_o action_n but_o if_o the_o

of_o express_v in_o short_a those_o idea_n it_o will_v make_v know_v to_o another_o do_v with_o great_a liberty_n unite_v often_o into_o one_o abstract_a idea_n thing_n that_o in_o their_o nature_n
