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

to_o mind_v you_o of_o it_o again_o after_o have_v say_v something_o to_o show_v why_o i_o use_v certainty_n and_o knowledge_n for_o the_o same_o thing_n i_o add_v 93._o that_o your_o lordship_n can_v

for_o that_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o question_n that_o you_o ask_v when_o you_o put_v in_o the_o term_n certainty_n since_o you_o know_v as_o undoubted_o that_o i_o mean_v knowledge_n by_o

this_o proposition_n certainty_n consist_v in_o the_o perception_n of_o the_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n of_o idea_n weaken_v the_o credibility_n of_o this_o fundament_n article_n that_o there_o
