well_o then_o the_o sum_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n will_v come_v to_o this_o if_o the_o idea_n of_o a_o material_a principle_n must_v be_v also_o material_a and_o if_o a_o material_a idea_n can_v represent_v a_o immaterial_a object_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o a_o material_a light_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o give_v the_o soul_n a_o representation_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v immaterial_a or_o intellectual_a and_o if_o so_o what_o little_a stead_n will_v it_o serve_v we_o in_o the_o great_a part_n of_o our_o notion_n be_v intellectual_a we_o can_v speak_v or_o write_v

it_o that_o person_n may_v well_o be_v esteem_v inconsistent_a with_o himself_o who_o so_o explain_v his_o hypothesis_n in_o the_o particular_n of_o it_o as_o to_o contradict_v that_o general_a

which_o they_o build_v their_o hypothesis_n of_o the_o light_n within_o be_v this_o that_o man_n can_v be_v a_o light_n to_o himself_o for_o if_o he_o can_v what_o need_v there_o be_v another_o principle_n of_o light_n within_o he_o and_o do_v therefore_o require_v some_o other_o principle_n of_o illumination_n for_o his_o conduct_n and_o direction_n this_o be_v the_o principle_n they_o go_v upon_o and_o so_o far_o i_o think_v they_o be_v right_a enough_o but_o now_o when_o they_o come_v to_o give_v a_o particular_a account_n of_o their_o hypothesis_n they_o so_o order_v the_o matter_n as_o to_o contradict_v and_o give_v up_o again_o that_o general_n principle_n for_o if_o that_o light_n within_o which_o be_v to_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o human_a understanding_n be_v a_o creature_n than_o man_n may_v as_o well_o have_v be_v his_o own_o light_n or_o a_o light_n to_o himself_o that_o be_v he_o may_v arrive_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n by_o consult_v the_o perfection_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n the_o only_a reason_n why_o man_n can_v be_v a_o light_n to_o himself_o be_v this_o because_o no_o creature_n can_v be_v so_o but_o if_o a_o creature_n may_v be_v a_o light_n and_o the_o light_n within_o be_v a_o creature_n then_o why_o may_v not_o man_n himself_o be_v that_o creature_n and_o then_o what_o need_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o light_n within_o distinct_a from_o the_o rational_a nature_n of_o man_n which_o will_v be_v to_o renounce_v their_o general_a principle_n and_o to_o fall_v in_o with_o the_o vulgar_a hypothesis_n of_o human_a
