by_o any_o action_n from_o within_o ourselves_o it_o can_v but_o appear_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o be_v affect_v only_o from_o the_o thing_n without_o we_o and_o so_o what_o real_o be_v only_o in_o ourselves_o must_v seem_v to_o come_v from_o those_o thing_n and_o consequent_o to_o be_v real_o in_o they_o experience_n also_o show_v to_o wit_n that_o what_o be_v real_o but_o in_o the_o

the_o behold_n of_o object_n through_o tinctured_a glass_n so_o that_o it_o must_v be_v conclude_v that_o the_o immediate_a object_n of_o cogitation_n i_o mean_v the_o very_a image_n and_o sentiment_n that_o be_v perceive_v do_v to_o all_o appearance_n seem_v as_o external_a to_o the_o cogitative_a power_n as_o even_o the_o ultimate_a object_n themselves_o that_o be_v perceive_v under_o they_o

opinion_n the_o academic_n of_o old_a be_v in_o that_o no_o judgement_n can_v be_v make_v of_o truth_n that_o thing_n do_v seem_v to_o we_o but_o can_v be_v perceive_v by_o we_o and_o that_o no_o

so_o those_o philosopher_n see_v it_o for_o they_o evident_o perceive_v that_o they_o see_v not_o the_o reality_n but_o only_o the_o appearance_n of_o thing_n plato_n the_o chief_a of_o they_o one_o of_o the_o most_o penetrate_a as_o well_o as_o the_o most_o elegant_a of_o all_o that_o ever_o be_v affirm_v that_o the_o present_a be_v a_o word_n of_o very_fw-la similitude_n only_o and_o not_o of_o truth_n and_o reality_n that_o the_o being_n in_o this_o world_n be_v only_a shadow_n but_o that_o the_o substance_n themselves_o be_v in_o the_o ideal_o how_o far_o herein_o he_o go_v with_o the_o

that_o since_o sentiment_n and_o notion_n bottom_v upon_o reality_n do_v seem_v the_o former_a to_o the_o sense_n the_o latter_a to_o the_o understanding_n to_o be_v reality_n and_o since_o we_o be_v
