the_o first_o objection_n against_o this_o hypothesis_n be_v that_o it_o speak_v of_o soul_n as_o of_o faculty_n or_o power_n and_o not_o as_o of_o thing_n that_o be_v essential_o active_a whereas_o a_o soul_n be_v a_o knowledge_n a_o cogitation_n or_o at_o least_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v always_o busy_a and_o do_v insomuch_o that_o even_o in_o sleep_n it_o do_v not_o all_o rest_n but_o that_o

whole_a life_n and_o certain_o since_o we_o be_v always_o conscious_a that_o we_o dream_v when_o ever_o we_o do_v we_o ought_v to_o believe_v we_o have_v not_o dream_v at_o all_o when_o we_o be_v

the_o mind_n or_o understanding_n be_v a_o organical_a thing_n as_o well_o as_o the_o external_n sense_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v but_o that_o as_o there_o be_v no_o actual_a sensation_n

that_o three_o such_o person_n be_v not_o numerical_o one_o he_o add_v let_v any_o man_n who_o can_v give_v i_o any_o other_o notion_n of_o the_o numerical_a oneness_n of_o a_o infinite_a mind_n but_o
