we_o attribute_v our_o sensation_n to_o object_n when_o the_o cause_n of_o these_o sensation_n be_v unknown_a to_o we_o and_o because_o pain_n and_o tititation_n be_v produce_v by_o sensible_a body_n as_o with_o a_o needle_n a_o feather_n which_o we_o see_v and_o touch_v and_o therefre_o we_o do_v not_o judge_v that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n like_o to_o these_o sentiment_n in_o those_o object_n that_o cause_v they_o in_o we_o it_o be_v certain_a indeed_o objection_n iii_o objection_n that_o we_o do_v not_o imagine_v that_o the_o burn_a be_v in_o the_o fire_n but_o only_o in_o the_o hand_n although_o it_o be_v cause_v by_o particle_n of_o the_o wood_n as_o well_o as_o the_o heat_n which_o we_o always_o attribute_v to_o the_o fire_n but_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v the_o burn_a be_v a_o kind_n of_o pain_n and_o have_v many_o time_n judge_v that_o pain_n be_v not_o in_o the_o external_n body_n which_o cause_n it_o we_o be_v induce_v also_o to_o make_v the_o same_o judgement_n of_o

divert_v we_o from_o think_v on_o other_o thing_n thus_o the_o mind_n unite_v the_o sensation_n of_o burn_v to_o that_o object_n that_o be_v near_a to_o it_o and_o because_o we_o soon_o after_o perceive_v that_o the_o burn_a have_v leave_v foam_n visible_a mark_n in_o that_o part_n where_o we_o feel_v the_o pain_n this_o confirm_v we_o in_o the_o judgement_n we_o have_v make_v that_o the_o

of_o a_o strange_a tongue_n but_o by_o little_a and_o little_a the_o animal_n spirit_n by_o their_o continual_a course_n open_a and_o clear_v these_o passage_n so_o that_o in_o time_n one_o find_v

according_a to_o this_o explanation_n to_o resolve_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o question_n which_o respect_v habit_n as_o for_o example_n why_o child_n be_v more_o capable_a of_o acquire_v new_a

which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o facility_n we_o have_v in_o recall_v thing_n again_o to_o our_o mind_n that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o perception_n that_o depend_v upon_o the_o course_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o body_n when_o they_o perceive_v any_o thing_n which_o surprise_v they_o and_o when_o they_o be_v agitate_a with_o any_o violent_a passion_n for_o that_o may_v cause_v the_o mark_n to_o be_v

the_o knowledge_n we_o have_v of_o eternal_a truth_n truth_n be_v uncreated_a immutable_a immense_a eternal_a above_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v true_a by_o itself_o it_o derive_v its_o perfection_n from_o nothing_o it_o make_v creature_n more_o perfect_a and_o all_o spirit_n natural_o endeavour_v to_o know_v it_o nothing_o but_o god_n can_v have_v all_o those_o perfection_n therefore_o truth_n be_v god_n we_o see_v some_o of_o those_o immutable_a eternal_a truth_n therefore_o we_o see_v god_n these_o be_v st._n augustine_n reason_n we_o differ_v a_o little_a from_o they_o and_o we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o use_v the_o authority_n of_o so_o great_a a_o man_n unjust_o to_o second_v our_o sentiment_n we_o believe_v that_o truth_n even_o those_o that_o be_v eternal_a as_o that_o twice_o two_o be_v four_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o absolute_a being_n so_o far_o be_v we_o from_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v in_o god_n for_o it_o be_v visible_a that_o that_o truth_n only_o consist_v in_o a_o relation_n of_o equality_n which_o be_v between_o twice_o two_o and_o four_n therefore_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o we_o see_v god_n in_o see_v truth_n as_o st._n austin_n say_v but_o in_o see_v the_o idea_n of_o those_o truth_n for_o idea_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o the_o idea_n which_o be_v truth_n have_v no_o reality_n when_o for_o example_n man_n say_v that_o the_o cloth_n they_o measure_v contain_v three_o yard_n the_o cloth_n and_o the_o yard_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o three_o yard_n and_o the_o cloth_n be_v not_o a_o real_a be_v it_o be_v only_o a_o relation_n that_o be_v between_o the_o three_o yard_n and_o the_o cloth_n when_o we_o say_v that_o twice_o two_o be_v four_n the_o idea_n of_o the_o number_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n there_o be_v between_o they_o be_v only_o a_o relation_n thus_o according_a to_o our_o sentiment_n we_o see_v god_n when_o we_o see_v eternal_a truth_n not_o that_o those_o eternal_a truth_n be_v god_n but_o because_o the_o idea_n on_o which_o those_o truth_n depend_v be_v in_o god_n perhaps_o st._n austin_n understand_v it_o so_o we_o also_o believe_v that_o we_o know_v in_o god_n changeable_n and_o corrubtible_a thing_n although_o st._n austin_n only_o speak_v of_o immutable_a and_o incorruptible_a thing_n because_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o that_o to_o place_v any_o imperfection_n in_o god_n since_o it_o suffice_v as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o god_n shall_v show_v we_o what_o there_o be_v in_o he_o that_o have_v a_o relation_n to_o these_o thing_n but_o though_o i_o say_v we_o see_v in_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v material_a and_o sensible_a it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o i_o do_v not_o say_v we_o have_v a_o sensation_n of_o they_o in_o god_n but_o only_o that_o it_o be_v from_o god_n who_o act_v in_o we_o for_o god_n know_v sensible_a thing_n but_o he_o do_v not_o feel_v they_o when_o we_o perceive_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v sensible_a sensation_n and_o pure_a idea_n be_v in_o our_o perception_n sensation_n be_v a_o modification_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v god_n that_o cause_n it_o in_o we_o and_o he_o may_v cause_v it_o though_o he_o have_v it_o not_o because_o he_o see_v in_o the_o idea_n he_o have_v of_o our_o soul_n that_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o as_o for_o the_o idea_n which_o be_v join_v to_o sensation_n it_o be_v in_o god_n we_o see_v it_o because_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o discover_v it_o to_o we_o and_o god_n join_v sensation_n to_o the_o idea_n when_o object_n be_v present_a to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v believe_v they_o as_o they_o be_v and_o that_o we_o may_v have_v such_o sensation_n and_o passion_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v in_o relation_n to_o they_o last_o we_o believe_v that_o all_o spirit_n see_v the_o eternal_a law_n as_o well_o as_o other_o thing_n in_o god_n but_o with_o some_o difference_n they_o know_v the_o eternal_a order_n and_o eternal_a

with_o the_o word_n or_o wisdom_n of_o god_n which_o direct_v they_o as_o we_o have_v show_v but_o it_o be_v by_o the_o impression_n they_o receive_v continual_o from_o the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o

or_o proper_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n the_o other_o acquire_v the_o natural_a be_v very_o deep_a and_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o esface_n they_o perfect_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o acquire_v may_v be_v easy_o lose_v because_o common_o they_o be_v not_o deep_a now_o although_o the_o natural_a and_o acquire_v differ_v only_o as_o to_o the_o more_o or_o less_o and_o that_o often_o the_o first_o have_v less_o force_n than_o the_o second_o since_o we_o every_o day_n accustom_v animal_n to_o do_v thing_n perfect_o contrary_a to_o what_o they_o be_v incline_v by_o these_o natural_a trace_n for_o example_n we_o use_v a_o dog_n not_o to_o touch_v bread_n nor_o to_o run_v after_o a_o partridge_n although_o he_o see_v and_o smell_v it_o yet_o there_o i●_n this_o difference_n between_o these_o trace_n that_o the_o natural_a one_o have_v if_o we_o may_v so_o say_v secret_a alliance_n with_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n thus_o all_o the_o spring_n of_o our_o machine_n assist_v one_o the_o other_o to_o preserve_v themselves_o in_o their_o natural_a state_n all_o the_o part_n of_o our_o body_n mutual_o contribute_v to_o all_o necessary_a thing_n for_o the_o preservation_n or_o re-establishment_n of_o these_o natural_a trace_n thus_o we_o can_v whole_o efface_v they_o and_o they_o begin_v to_o revive_v when_o we_o believe_v we_o have_v destroy_v they_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o acquire_v trace_n although_o great_a more_o profound_a and_o strong_a than_o the_o natural_a be_v lose_v by_o little_a and_o little_a if_o they_o be_v not_o careful_o preserve_v by_o a_o continual_a application_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o produce_v they_o because_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n contribute_v nothing_o to_o their_o preservation_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a continual_o endeavour_v to_o efface_v and_o loose_v they_o we_o may_v compare_v these_o trace_n to_o the_o common_a wound_n of_o the_o body_n they_o be_v wound_n that_o our_o brain_n receive_v which_o heal_v of_o themselves_o as_o these_o wound_n of_o the_o body_n do_v by_o the_o admirable_a construction_n of_o the_o machine_n as_o then_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o all_o the_o body_n which_o be_v not_o conformable_a to_o the_o natural_a trace_n they_o transmit_v themselves_o into_o child_n with_o all_o their_o force_n so_o parrot_n hatch_v little_a one_o which_o have_v the_o same_o or_o natural_a voice_n with_o themselves_o but_o because_o acquire_v trace_n be_v only_o in_o the_o brain_n and_o not_o disperse_v through_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n except_o some_o few_o of_o they_o as_o when_o they_o have_v be_v imprint_v by_o the_o motion_n that_o accompany_v violent_a passion_n they_o must_v not_o be_v transmit_v into_o child_n thus_o a_o parrot_n who_o give_v the_o good_a morrow_n and_o good_a night_n to_o his_o master_n will_v not_o make_v his_o little_a one_o as_o learned_a as_o himself_o and_o so_o wise_a and_o able_a person_n will_v not_o have_v child_n which_o resemble_v they_o thus_o although_o it_o be_v true_a that_o all_o which_o pass_v in_o the_o mother_n brain_n pass_v also_o in_o the_o same_o time_n into_o that_o of_o the_o
