knowledge_n of_o what_o they_o will_v say_v themselves_o and_o that_o they_o see_v all_o the_o consequence_n of_o their_o opinion_n so_o that_o it_o will_v be_v perhaps_o in_o vain_a to_o endeavour_v to_o draw_v out_o of_o their_o write_n a_o clear_a idea_n of_o their_o sentiment_n touch_v the_o three_o principle_n of_o all_o thing_n because_o perhaps_o they_o themselves_o conceive_v not_o clear_o what_o they_o say_v at_o least_o their_o style_n be_v so_o different_a on_o this_o occasion_n from_o that_o which_o be_v observable_a in_o the_o passage_n of_o their_o write_n wherein_o they_o speak_v of_o thing_n which_o they_o may_v know_v that_o it_o be_v apparent_a they_o contain_v not_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o three_o principle_n like_o a_o infinite_a of_o other_o which_o they_o have_v know_v how_o to_o express_v in_o a_o even_o clear_a and_o elegant_a manner_n the_o second_o thing_n we_o shall_v observe_v be_v that_o in_o so_o difficult_a a_o matter_n we_o must_v content_v ourselves_o with_o what_o they_o say_v positive_o without_o attempt_v to_o draw_v far-fetched_a consequence_n from_o their_o principle_n which_o we_o can_v understand_v but_o by_o half_n otherwise_o we_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o attribute_v to_o they_o such_o notion_n as_o they_o never_o have_v neither_o must_v we_o endeavour_v to_o reconcile_v in_o so_o abstract_v a_o subject_n the_o contradiction_n which_o seem_v to_o appear_v in_o their_o doctrine_n nor_o conclude_v that_o they_o can_v not_o mean_a thing_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n because_o than_o they_o must_v contradict_v

enough_o to_o imagine_v that_o they_o may_v have_v sometime_o contradict_v themselves_o on_o a_o subject_n whereof_o they_o have_v no_o distinct_a idea_n these_o two_o remark_n be_v necessary_a to_o
