of_o the_o number_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o they_o be_v only_o a_o relation_n and_o thus_o according_a to_o our_o own_o opinion_n we_o see_v god_n in_o see_v eternal_a truth_n not_o that_o these_o truth_n be_v god_n but_o because_o the_o idea_n on_o which_o these_o truth_n depend_v exist_v in_o god_n and_o perhaps_o too_o st._n augustin_n understand_v it_o so_o we_o be_v
