in_o what_o capacity_n these_o object_n be_v in_o to_o hurt_v it_o we_o may_v far_o consider_v that_o in_o case_n the_o soul_n have_v no_o perception_n but_o of_o that_o which_o happen_v in_o her_o

proper_a to_o excite_v the_o passion_n as_o shall_v be_v explain_v in_o another_o place_n the_o faint_a and_o languish_a sensation_n be_v such_o as_o affect_v the_o soul_n very_o little_a and_o be_v

a_o man_n behold_v the_o sun_n thus_o the_o sensation_n of_o light_n may_v be_v vigorous_a or_o faint_a or_o neither_o but_o moderate_a according_a to_o its_o different_a degree_n let_v we_o see_v then_o the_o judgement_n the_o soul_n pass_v upon_o these_o three_o sort_n of_o sensation_n sensation_n wherein_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o she_o almost_o ever_o blind_o and_o implicit_o follow_v the_o sensible_a impression_n or_o the_o natural_a judgement_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o that_o she_o be_v delight_v if_o i_o may_v so_o term_v it_o to_o diffuse_v herself_o upon_o the_o object_n she_o

whether_o she_o will_v or_o not_o acknowledge_v they_o do_v in_o some_o measure_n belong_v to_o she_o so_o that_o she_o not_o only_a judge_n they_o to_o be_v in_o the_o object_n but_o believe_v they_o also_o to_o be_v in_o the_o member_n of_o her_o body_n which_o she_o consider_v as_o a_o part_n of_o herself_o thus_o she_o judge_v that_o heat_n and_o cold_a be_v not_o only_o in_o the_o fire_n and_o ice_n but_o in_o her_o own_o hand_n also_o as_o to_o the_o languid_a sensation_n they_o so_o little_o concern_v the_o soul_n that_o she_o conclude_v they_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o she_o that_o they_o be_v neither_o in_o herself_o nor_o in_o her_o body_n but_o in_o object_n only_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v we_o divest_v our_o own_o soul_n and_o our_o own_o eye_n of_o light_n and_o

and_o experience_v visible_o manifest_v that_o we_o ought_v equal_o to_o judge_v they_o in_o our_o eye_n as_o on_o the_o object_n since_o we_o see_v they_o no_o less_o upon_o the_o one_o than_o the_o

as_o i_o shall_v explain_v hereafter_o but_o only_o by_o a_o internal_a sensation_n that_o we_o have_v of_o it_o we_o can_v understand_v by_o a_o simple_a view_n but_o by_o the_o force_n of_o reason_v only_o whether_o whiteness_n light_n colour_n sound_n and_o other_o faint_a and_o languish_a sensation_n be_v the_o modification_n of_o our_o soul_n or_o not_o but_o as_o to_o the_o lively_a sensation_n as_o pain_n and_o pleasure_n we_o easy_o judge_v that_o they_o be_v within_o we_o because_o we_o feel_v they_o sensible_o affect_v we_o and_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o our_o know_v they_o by_o their_o idea_n to_o understand_v that_o they_o belong_v to_o we_o as_o for_o the_o middle_a sensation_n the_o soul_n seem_v dubious_a and_o at_o a_o fault_n about_o they_o for_o on_o one_o

especial_o when_o these_o sensation_n come_v up_o near_o to_o those_o which_o i_o have_v name_v the_o strong_a and_o lively_a whereupon_o let_v we_o see_v how_o she_o behave_v herself_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o judgement_n she_o make_v concern_v they_o if_o she_o be_v smart_o touch_v with_o the_o sensation_n she_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v in_o she_o own_o body_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o object_n

which_o two_o principle_n of_o error_n i_o remember_v to_o have_v be_v often_o seduce_v for_o to_o return_v to_o the_o difficulty_n in_o hand_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o conceive_v how_o those_o

why_o if_o one_o part_n may_v be_v somewhat_o remove_v from_o the_o other_o it_o can_v not_o be_v entire_o remove_v and_o therefore_o whether_o these_o little_a fetter_n be_v suppose_v indivisible_a

of_o the_o cause_n of_o elasticity_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o a_o strangely-violent_a motion_n which_o continual_o pass_v into_o the_o part_n of_o hard_a body_n and_o make_v they_o so_o by_o its_o compress_v both_o their_o outward_a and_o inward_a part_n for_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a from_o hence_o to_o see_v that_o at_o the_o time_n of_o percussion_n then_o encounter_v body_n drive_v and_o turn_v off_o the_o current_n of_o this_o matter_n from_o the_o place_n near_a to_o the_o strike_n which_o matter_n resist_v with_o great_a violence_n repel_v the_o two_o body_n which_o strike_v against_o each_o other_o and_o restore_v its_o passage_n which_o the_o percussion_n have_v stop_v up_o that_o which_o more_o clear_o still_o prove_v my_o opinion_n be_v
this_o that_o if_o two_o bowl_n of_o lead_n or_o of_o any_o other_o less_o elastic_a matter_n meet_v they_o rebound_v not_o after_o their_o collision_n but_o proceed_v almost_o according_a to_o the_o

a_o motion_n overpower_v the_o resistance_n the_o little_a part_n of_o the_o subtle_a matter_n be_v capable_a of_o make_v as_o when_o we_o discharge_v a_o musket_n against_o a_o piece_n of_o wood._n it_o be_v true_a the_o subtle_a matter_n compress_n soft_a body_n and_o pass_v with_o a_o rapid_a course_n through_o their_o pore_n no_o less_o than_o through_o those_o of_o hard_a and_o yet_o these_o soft_a body_n have_v no_o elasticity_n the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v this_o that_o the_o matter_n pass_v through_o soft_a body_n can_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o ease_n open_v itself_o new_a

with_o it_o he_o feel_v no_o such_o pleasure_n in_o his_o duty_n for_o though_o he_o know_v god_n be_v his_o good_a it_o be_v not_o in_o a_o sensible_a way_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o several_a

this_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o we_o learn_v by_o experience_n or_o rather_o from_o that_o inward_a sensation_n we_o have_v of_o ourselves_o we_o may_v then_o conceive_v that_o the_o first_o man_n have_v insensible_o suffer_v the_o capacity_n of_o his_o mind_n to_o be_v possess_v or_o divide_v by_o the_o lively_a sense_n of_o a_o presumptuous_a joy_n or_o it_o may_v be_v some_o love_n or_o

suppose_v then_o that_o adam_n and_o eve_n have_v sin_v and_o consequent_o thereupon_o feel_v in_o themselves_o involuntary_a and_o rebellious_a motion_n i_o say_v that_o their_o child_n must_v

excite_v in_o the_o former_a be_v stir_v up_o in_o the_o latter_a therefore_o as_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o infant_n be_v unite_v to_o its_o body_n at_o the_o very_a instant_n of_o its_o creation_n it_o be_v the_o conformation_n of_o the_o body_n which_o oblige_v god_n in_o consequence_n of_o his_o general_a will_n to_o inform_v it_o with_o a_o soul_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o at_o the_o very_a

the_o soul_n existence_n but_o pleasure_n have_v no_o necessary_a relation_n to_o the_o object_n that_o seem_v to_o cause_v it_o and_o love_n be_v necessary_o relate_v unto_o good_n pleasure_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n what_o figure_n be_v to_o body_n and_o motion_n be_v to_o body_n what_o love_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n but_o the_o motion_n of_o a_o body_n be_v very_o different_a from_o its_o figure_n i_o grant_v that_o the_o soul_n which_o have_v a_o constant_a propensity_n to_o good_a advance_n as_o i_o may_v say_v more_o ready_o towards_o it_o when_o instigate_v by_o a_o sense_n of_o pleasure_n that_o when_o discourage_v by_o her_o suffer_a pain_n as_o a_o body_n when_o drive_v run_v easy_o along_o if_o it_o have_v a_o spherical_a than_o if_o it_o have_v a_o cubical_a figure_n but_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o body_n differ_v from_o its_o motion_n and_o it_o may_v be_v spherical_a and_o yet_o remain_v at_o rest_n it_o be_v true_a in_o this_o case_n it_o go_v not_o with_o

perpetual_o on_o towards_o good_a but_o that_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o its_o motion_n for_o two_o thing_n though_o differ_v from_o each_o other_o may_v yet_o be_v always_o find_v inseparable_o together_o i_o answer_v last_o that_o although_o pleasure_n be_v not_o different_a from_o the_o love_n or_o motion_n of_o the_o soul_n yet_o that_o which_o the_o first_o man_n feel_v in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o good_n of_o the_o body_n do_v not_o incline_v he_o to_o the_o love_a body_n it_o be_v true_a pleasure_n carry_v the_o soul_n

from_o their_o presence_n adam_n before_o his_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o stupid_a as_o to_o imagine_v that_o body_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o pleasure_n be_v not_o carry_v to_o the_o love_n of_o they_o by_o the_o motion_n that_o accompany_v his_o pleasure_n if_o pleasure_n contribute_v to_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o first_o man_n it_o be_v not_o by_o work_v in_o he_o what_o at_o present_a it_o
