of_o virtue_n and_o honesty_n and_o if_o those_o rule_n be_v neglect_v more_o or_o less_o by_o man_n or_o appear_v little_a among_o some_o people_n this_o be_v no_o good_a proof_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o principle_n as_o it_o be_v no_o sufficient_a argument_n that_o there_o be_v no_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n because_o his_o light_n be_v obscure_v in_o cloudy_a day_n or_o do_v not_o appear_v in_o foggy_a region_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o prove_v there_o be_v such_o a_o luminary_n if_o he_o shine_v clear_a in_o other_o climate_n or_o by_o fit_n though_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o cloud_n and_o eclipse_n as_o well_o as_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n so_o i_o do_v not_o see_v any_o necessity_n of_o universal_a consent_n or_o universal_a uniformity_n to_o declare_v a_o principle_n to_o be_v natural_a how_o many_o be_v there_o among_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n who_o say_v they_o can_v make_v no_o distinction_n of_o musical_a sound_n or_o of_o concord_n and_n discord_n they_o say_v all_o composition_n for_o voice_n or_o instrument_n be_v equal_a to_o they_o as_o to_o pleasantness_n or_o unpleasantness_n only_o some_o be_v more_o noisy_a than_o other_o or_o of_o quick_a or_o slow_a time_n yet_o i_o think_v no_o man_n will_v deny_v the_o sense_n of_o music_n to_o be_v natural_a to_o mankind_n without_o ratiocination_n so_o also_o for_o beauty_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o of_o face_n only_o or_o colour_n but_o of_o order_n proportion_n uniformity_n or_o regularity_n in_o general_n this_o be_v very_o different_a in_o different_a person_n and_o some_o scarce_o appear_v at_o all_o affect_a with_o it_o yet_o who_o do_v not_o think_v that_o some_o notion_n or_o idea_n of_o order_n and_o regularity_n and_o of_o their_o difference_n from_o confusion_n or_o disorder_n be_v natural_a to_o we_o even_o the_o power_n of_o reason_n several_a passion_n a_o propension_n to_o laugh_v at_o ridiculous_a object_n or_o action_n be_v more_o and_o less_o and_o appear_v soon_o in_o some_o than_o other_o and_o this_o may_v be_v observe_v in_o child_n of_o who_o weakness_n you_o make_v great_a use_n and_o frequent_a mention_n if_o you_o allow_v these_o other_o principle_n to_o be_v natural_a and_o bear_v with_o we_o i_o know_v not_o why_o you_o shall_v make_v so_o much_o ado_n about_o the_o word_n innate_a i_o shall_v be_v glad_a to_o know_v if_o you_o allow_v any_o power_n or_o principle_n to_o be_v innate_a in_o your_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n if_o you_o allow_v none_o at_o all_o not_o these_o last_o mention_v nor_o so_o much_o as_o willing_a or_o nill_v this_o or_o that_o the_o controversy_n will_v be_v change_v and_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v what_o idea_n you_o can_v form_v of_o a_o soul_n or_o of_o a_o spirit_n without_o any_o power_n or_o any_o action_n i_o wish_v that_o may_v not_o be_v the_o supposition_n that_o lie_v at_o the_o bottom_n of_o your_o philosophy_n that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v no_o distinct_a substance_n from_o god_n or_o the_o body_n but_o either_o a_o divine_a influence_n or_o the_o power_n of_o the_o body_n this_o hypothesis_n i_o confess_v may_v lead_v you_o to_o deny_v both_o innate_a idea_n and_o practical_a principle_n to_o proceed_v a_o little_a further_o you_o have_v a_o odd_a exception_n in_o your_o 12_o paragraph_n to_o show_v that_o the_o dictate_v of_o natural_a conscience_n be_v not_o truth_n because_o they_o be_v not_o form_v into_o proposition_n and_o to_o make_v they_o capable_a of_o be_v assent_v to_o as_o truth_n they_o must_v have_v the_o word_n duty_n join_v to_o they_o but_o say_v you_o what_o duty_n be_v can_v be_v understand_v without_o a_o law_n nor_o a_o law_n be_v know_v or_o suppose_v without_o a_o lawmaker_n or_o without_o reward_n and_o punishment_n this_o to_o i_o be_v but_o chicanry_n about_o word_n but_o let_v we_o see_v how_o far_o these_o thing_n make_v for_o you_o or_o against_o you_o do_v we_o not_o preserve_v ourselves_o do_v we_o not_o make_v use_n of_o reason_n without_o the_o formality_n of_o a_o law_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v these_o thing_n or_o in_o the_o case_n of_o natural_a conscience_n have_v we_o not_o the_o mark_n and_o

to_o the_o transgressor_n do_v not_o this_o hit_v the_o christian_n as_o well_o and_o as_o manifest_o as_o those_o that_o abuse_v natural_a conscience_n then_o you_o say_v again_o but_o let_v any_o
