formal_o heat_n be_v not_o in_o the_o fire_n but_o be_v a_o expression_n of_o our_o sentiment_n yet_o in_o propriety_n of_o speech_n the_o sense_n themselves_o be_v never_o deceive_v but_o only_o

the_o cartesian_a derive_v all_o sensitive_a perception_n from_o motion_n and_o corporal_a impress_n some_o account_n of_o which_o we_o have_v above_o give_v not_o that_o the_o formality_n of_o it_o consist_v in_o material_a reaction_n as_o master_n hobbs_n affirm_v total_o exclude_v any_o immaterial_a concurrence_n but_o that_o the_o representation_n of_o object_n to_o the_o soul_n the_o only_a animadversive_a principle_n be_v convey_v by_o motion_n make_v upon_o the_o immediate_a instrument_n of_o sense_n so_o that_o the_o diversity_n of_o our_o sensation_n arise_v from_o the_o diversity_n of_o the_o motion_n or_o figure_n of_o the_o object_n which_o in_o a_o different_a manner_n affect_v the_o brain_n whence_o the_o soul_n have_v its_o immediate_a intelligence_n of_o the_o quality_n of_o what_o be_v present_v thus_o the_o different_a effect_n which_o fire_n and_o water_n have_v on_o we_o which_o we_o call_v heat_n and_o cold_a result_n from_o the_o so_o differ_v configuration_n

propagate_v by_o many_o petty_a imaginary_a production_n to_o the_o seat_n of_o sense_n so_o that_o what_o we_o term_v heat_n and_o cold_a and_o other_o quality_n be_v not_o proper_o according_a to_o philosophical_a rigour_n in_o the_o body_n their_o efficient_n but_o be_v rather_o name_n express_v our_o passion_n and_o therefore_o not_o strict_o attributable_a to_o any_o thing_n without_o we_o but_o by_o extrinsic_a denomination_n as_o vision_n to_o the_o wall_n this_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v a_o hypothesis_n well_o worthy_a a_o rational_a belief_n and_o yet_o be_v it_o so_o abhorrent_n

to_o determine_v either_o one_o or_o other_o i_o may_v indeed_o conclude_v that_o i_o be_o formal_o hot_a or_o cold_a i_o feel_v it_o but_o whether_o these_o quality_n be_v formal_o or_o only_o eminent_o in_o their_o producent_fw-la be_v beyond_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o sensitive_a even_o the_o peripatetic_a philosophy_n will_v teach_v we_o that_o heat_n be_v not_o in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o only_o virtual_o and_o as_o in_o its_o cause_n though_o it_o be_v the_o fountain_n and_o great_a distributour_n of_o warmth_n to_o the_o nether_a creation_n and_o yet_o none_o

will_v have_v it_o yet_o sense_n will_v constant_o present_v it_o to_o we_o as_o now._n we_o shall_v find_v heat_n as_o infallible_a a_o attendant_n upon_o fire_n and_o the_o increase_n thereof_o by_o

when_o ever_o we_o be_v within_o the_o orb_n of_o its_o activity_n and_o the_o heat_n must_v needs_o be_v augment_v by_o proximity_n and_o most_o of_o all_o within_o the_o flame_n because_o of_o the_o

though_o they_o be_v some_o way_n accessary_a to_o our_o delusion_n yet_o the_o more_o principal_a faculty_n be_v the_o capital_a offender_n thus_o if_o the_o sense_n represent_v the_o earth_n as_o
