164 10 | might be sufficient for bruising the food and pasture. But
165 4 | harsh than man? What more brutal? What more savage? But since
166 3 | truth, the condition of the brute creation is better, because
167 2 | things which are given to the brutes contributes to the beauty

190 11 | smell or breath does not cease to flow through these, which
191 6 | the system of production ceased! Since, therefore, all things
