in_o the_o body_n for_o my_o part_n when_o i_o look_v close_o into_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o soul_n it_o seem_v a_o far_o more_o difficult_a and_o obscure_a speculation_n what_o the_o soul_n shall_v

and_o what_o i_o now_o speak_v to_o you_o i_o do_v not_o address_v to_o your_o body_n when_o therefore_o he_o say_v know_v yourself_o he_o mean_v know_v your_o soul_n for_o the_o body_n be_v but_o
