the_o intellectual_a be_v in_o appearance_n external_a to_o their_o several_a faculty_n that_o be_v such_o object_n do_v so_o seem_v to_o be_v without_o their_o several_a faculty_n to_o which_o they_o

which_o real_o be_v not_o in_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v without_o we_o do_v yet_o appear_v as_o if_o they_o be_v and_o consequent_o that_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v object_n it_o must_v be_v answer_v that_o this_o arise_v from_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o cogitation_n itself_o and_o of_o the_o cogitative_a faculty_n and_o that_o both_o reason_n and_o experience_n do_v evidence_n it_o must_v be_v so_o first_o reason_n show_v that_o it_o must_v be_v so_o for_o as_o we_o be_v conscious_a that_o we_o have_v a_o perceivance_n of_o object_n under_o certain_a image_n and_o notion_n so_o we_o be_v not_o conscious_a of_o any_o action_n by_o which_o our_o faculty_n shall_v make_v those_o image_n or_o notion_n and_o therefore_o be_v sensible_a that_o we_o be_v affect_v with_o such_o image_n and_o

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 cogitative_a faculty_n do_v yet_o seem_v without_o it_o for_o if_o the_o eye_n by_o any_o accident_n become_v infect_v with_o colour_n as_o to_o instance_n in_o a_o more_o receive_v than_o often_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 which_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n to_o be_v show_v the_o second_o point_n to_o be_v show_v be_v that_o the_o immediate_a object_n of_o cogitation_n be_v external_a in_o their_o ground_n as_o well_o as_o in_o appearance_n and_o in_o truth_n be_v therefore_o external_a in_o appearance_n because_o they_o be_v so_o real_o in_o their_o ground_n and_o this_o be_v as_o certain_a as_o that_o every_o

be_v fix_v and_o tasteless_a what_o of_o salt_n but_o that_o of_o something_o sapid_a and_o easy_o soluble_a in_o water_n and_o what_o idea_n have_v we_o of_o water_n but_o that_o it_o be_v something_o material_a moist_a and_o fluid_a in_o such_o a_o degree_n and_o the_o like_a so_o that_o the_o idea_n of_o a_o substance_n be_v that_o of_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v a_o subject_n and_o this_o be_v a_o relative_n idea_n but_o many_o who_o can_v satisfy_v themselves_o with_o the_o former_a do_v conceit_n that_o they_o have_v find_v a_o better_a a_o real_a a_o positive_a idea_n of_o substance_n of_o these_o some_o do_v hold_v extension_n be_v that_o idea_n so_o that_o substance_n be_v extension_n and_o according_o as_o extension_n be_v either_o penetrable_a or_o impenetrable_a so_o they_o frame_v the_o notion_n of_o spirit_n and_o body_n or_o the_o species_n of_o substance_n as_o it_o be_v immaterial_a or_o material_a other_o hold_v that_o existence_n or_o be_v be_v the_o idea_n of_o substance_n in_o general_n and_o that_o substance_n of_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a species_n be_v only_o determinate_a tality_n of_o be_v for_o since_o in_o be_v be_v the_o idea_n of_o a_o accident_n be_v say_v they_o must_v be_v that_o of_o a_o substance_n and_o as_o to_o be_v be_v to_o exist_v so_o be_v be_v nothing_o but_o existence_n i_o shall_v have_v another_o occasion_n hereafter_o to_o consider_v the_o first_o of_o those_o opinion_n when_o i_o come_v to_o answer_v a_o certain_a objection_n touch_v the_o idea_n of_o god_n but_o will_v say_v of_o it_o now_o that_o those_o who_o profess_v it_o can_v make_v out_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v a_o clear_a and_o satisfactory_a idea_n of_o extension_n in_o general_a that_o shall_v agree_v in_o common_a both_o to_o
