A48890 Mr. Locke's reply to the right reverend the Lord Bishop of Worcester's answer to his second letter wherein, besides other incident matters, what his lordship has said concerning certainty by reason, certainty by ideas, and certainty of faith, the resurrection of the same body, the immateriality of the soul, the inconsistency of Mr. Locke's notions with the articles of the Christian faith and their tendency to sceptism [sic], is examined. Locke, John, 1632-1704. 1699 (1699) Wing L2754; ESTC R32483 244,862 490

be_v the_o proposition_n here_o to_o be_v prove_v will_v remain_v still_o unprove_v for_o i_o may_v say_v thing_n inconsistent_a with_o this_o proposition_n that_o knowledge_n consist_v in_o the_o

short_a way_n of_o prove_v any_o proposition_n and_o i_o shall_v leave_v to_o your_o lordship_n the_o satisfaction_n you_o have_v in_o such_o a_o proof_n since_o i_o think_v it_o will_v scarce_o convince_v other_o in_o the_o last_o place_n your_o lordship_n argue_v 129-131_a that_o because_o i_o say_v that_o the_o idea_n in_o the_o mind_n prove_v not_o the_o existence_n of_o that_o thing_n

of_o idea_n but_o if_o you_o have_v be_v please_v to_o have_v consider_v my_o answer_n there_o to_o the_o sceptic_n who_o cause_n you_o here_o seem_v with_o no_o small_a vigour_n to_o manage_v you_o will_v i_o humble_o conceive_v have_v find_v that_o you_o mistake_v one_o thing_n for_o another_o viz._n the_o idea_n that_o have_v by_o a_o former_a sensation_n be_v lodge_v in_o the_o mind_n for_o

out_o of_o my_o book_n now_o the_o two_o idea_n that_o in_o this_o case_n be_v perceive_v to_o agree_v and_o do_v thereby_o produce_v knowledge_n be_v the_o idea_n of_o actual_a sensation_n which_o be_v a_o action_n whereof_o i_o have_v a_o clear_a and_o distinct_a idea_n and_o the_o idea_n of_o actual_a existence_n of_o something_o without_o i_o that_o cause_v that_o sensation_n and_o what_o other_o certainty_n your_o lordship_n have_v by_o your_o sense_n of_o the_o exi_n of_o any_o thing_n without_o you_o but_o the_o perceive_v connection_n of_o those_o two_o idea_n i_o will_v glad_o

we_o capable_a of_o in_o this_o state_n your_o lordship_n will_v have_v well_o assist_v the_o sceptic_n in_o carry_v their_o argument_n against_o certainty_n by_o sense_n beyond_o what_o they_o can_v have_v expect_v i_o can_v but_o fear_n my_o lord_n that_o what_o you_o have_v say_v here_o in_o favour_n of_o scepticism_n against_o certainty_n by_o sense_n for_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o against_o i_o till_o you_o show_v we_o can_v have_v no_o idea_n of_o actual_a sensation_n without_o the_o proper_a antidote_n annex_v in_o show_v wherein_o that_o certainty_n consist_v if_o the_o account_n i_o give_v be_v not_o true_a after_o you_o have_v so_o strenuous_o endeavour_v to_o destroy_v what_o i_o have_v say_v for_o it_o will_n by_o your_o authority_n have_v lay_v no_o small_a foundation_n of_o scepticism_n which_o they_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o lay_v hold_n of_o with_o advantage_n to_o their_o cause_n who_o have_v any_o disposition_n that_o way_n for_o i_o desire_v any_o one_o to_o read_v this_o your_o five_o argument_n and_o then_o judge_v which_o of_o we_o two_o be_v a_o promoter_n of_o scepticism_n i_o who_o have_v endeavour_v and_o as_o i_o think_v prove_v certainty_n by_o our_o

be_v very_o little_a and_o narrow_a which_o when_o your_o lordship_n write_v your_o vindication_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n 244._o be_v very_o fair_a and_o ingenuous_a confession_n of_o the_o shortness_n of_o humane_a understanding_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o nature_n and_o manner_n of_o such_o thing_n which_o we_o be_v most_o certain_a of_o the_o be_v of_o by_o constant_a

43._o 43-45_a and_o at_o last_o you_o have_v think_v fit_a to_o represent_v they_o as_o argument_n for_o scepticism_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v acquit_v myself_o i_o hope_v to_o your_o lordship_n satisfaction_n of_o my_o promise_n to_o answer_v your_o accusation_n of_o a_o tendency_n to_o scepticism_n but_o to_o return_v to_o your_o second_o letter_n where_o i_o leave_v off_o in_o the_o follow_a page_n 76-87_a you_o have_v another_o argument_n to_o prove_v my_o way_n of_o certainty_n to_o be_v none_o but_o to_o lead_v to_o scepticism_n which_o after_o a_o serious_a perusal_n of_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o amount_v to_o no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o des_n cartes_n and_o i_o go_v both_o in_o the_o way_n of_o idea_n and_o we_o differ_v ergo_fw-la the_o place_n of_o certainty_n

more_o than_o i_o can_v justify_v when_o i_o say_v your_o lordship_n go_v in_o the_o way_n of_o idea_n for_o you_o will_v tell_v i_o you_o do_v not_o place_v
matter_n so_o dispose_v a_o think_v immaterial_a substance_n it_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o our_o notion_n not_o much_o more_o remote_a from_o our_o comprehension_n to_o conceive_v that_o god_n can_v

else_o who_o i_o desire_v your_o lordship_n to_o produce_v stand_v paint_v in_o this_o your_o lordship_n argument_n from_o the_o supposition_n of_o a_o divine_a revelation_n which_o your_o lordship_n

the_o infinite_a omnipotent_a creator_n of_o all_o thing_n out_o of_o nothing_o can_v if_o he_o please_v superadd_a to_o some_o parcel_n of_o matter_n dispose_v as_o he_o see_v fit_a a_o faculty_n of_o think_v which_o the_o rest_n of_o matter_n have_v not_o rather_o than_o to_o represent_v i_o with_o that_o candour_n your_o lordship_n do_v as_o one_o who_o so_o far_o make_v matter_n a_o think_v
