it_o be_v easy_o prove_v to_o be_v then_o our_o body_n by_o yesterday_n meditation_n i_o be_o cast_v into_o so_o great_a doubt_n that_o i_o shall_v never_o forget_v they_o and_o yet_o i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o answer_v they_o but_o be_v plunge_v on_o a_o sudden_a into_o a_o deep_a ●ulf_n i_o be_o so_o amaze_v that_o i_o can_v neither_o touch_v the_o bottom_n nor_o swim_v at_o the_o top_n nevertheless_o i_o will_v endeavour_v once_o more_o and_o try_v the_o way_n i_o set_v on_o yesterday_o by_o remove_v from_o i_o whatever_o be_v in_o the_o least_o doubtful_a as_o if_o i_o have_v certain_o discover_v it_o to_o be_v altogether_o false_a and_o will_v proceed_v till_o i_o find_v out_o some_o certainty_n or_o if_o nothing_o else_o yet_o at_o least_o this_o certainty_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o sure_a archimedes_n require_v but_o a_o point_n which_o be_v firm_a and_o immovable_a that_o he_o may_v move_v the_o whole_a earth_n so_o in_o the_o present_a undertake_n ●reat_a thing_n may_v be_v expect_v if_o i_o can_v discover_v but_o the_o least_o thing_n that_o be_v true_a and_o indisputable_a wherefore_o i_o suppose_v all_o thing_n i_o see_v be_v false_a and_o believe_v that_o nothing_o of_o those_o thing_n be_v real_o existent_a which_o my_o deceitful_a memory_n represent_v to_o i_o it_o be_v evident_a i_o have_v no_o sense_n that_o a_o body_n figure_n extension_n motion_n place_n etc._n etc._n be_v mere_a fiction_n what_o thing_n therefore_o be_v there_o that_o be_v true_a perhaps_o only_o this_o 〈◊〉_d there_o be_v nothing_o certain_a but_o how_o know_v i_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o distinct_a solution_n doubt_n and_o solution_n from_o all_o these_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v now_o reckon_v of_o which_o i_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v be_v there_o no_o god_n or_o whatever_o other_o name_n i_o may_v call_v he_o who_o have_v put_v these_o thought_n into_o i_o yet_o why_o shall_v i_o think_v this_o when_o i_o myself_o perhaps_o be_o the_o author_n of_o they_o upon_o which_o account_n therefore_o must_v not_o i_o be_v something_o it_o be_v but_o just_a now_o that_o i_o deny_v that_o i_o have_v any_o sense_n or_o any_o body_n hold_v a_o while_n be_o i_o so_o tie_v to_o a_o body_n and_o sense_n and_o i_o can_v exist_v without_o they_o but_o i_o have_v peswade_v myself_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n no_o heaven_n no_o earth_n no_o soul_n no_o body_n and_o then_o why_o not_o that_o i_o myself_o be_o not_o yet_o sure_o if_o i_o can_v persuade_v myself_o any_o thing_n i_o be_v but_o there_o be_v i_o know_v not_o what_o sort_n of_o deceivour_n very_o powerful_a and_o very_a crafty_a who_o always_o strive_v to_o deceive_v i_o without_o doubt_v therefore_o i_o be_o if_o he_o can_v deceive_v i_o and_o let_v he_o deceive_v i_o as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v yet_o he_o can_v never_o make_v i_o not_o to_o be_v whilst_o i_o think_v that_o i_o be_o wherefore_o i_o may_v lay_v this_o down_o as_o a_o principle_n that_o whenever_o this_o sentence_n i_o be_o i_o exist_v be_v speak_v or_o think_v of_o by_o i_o it_o be_v necessary_o true_a but_o i_o do_v not_o yet_o full_o understand_v who_o i_o be_o that_o now_o necessary_o exist_v and_o i_o must_v hereafter_o take_v care_n lest_o i_o foolish_o mistake_v some_o other_o thing_n for_o myself_o and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v deceive_v in_o that_o thought_n which_o i_o defend_v as_o the_o most_o certain_a and_o evident_a of_o all_o wherefore_o i_o will_v again_o recollect_v what_o i_o believe_v myself_o to_o be_v heretofore_o before_o i_o have_v set_v upon_o these_o meditation_n from_o which_o notion_n i_o will_v withdraw_v whatever_o may_v be_v disprove_v and_o the_o forementioned_a reason_n that_o in_o the_o end_n that_o only_o may_v remain_v which_o be_v true_a and_o indisputable_a what_o therefore_o hau●_n i_o heretofore_o think_v myself_o a_o man_n but_o what_o be_v a_o man_n shall_v i_o answer_v a_o rational_a animal_n by_o no_o mean_n because_o afterward_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v what_o a_o animal_n be_v and_o what_o rational_a be_v and_o so_o from_o one_o question_n i_o may_v fall_v into_o great_a difficulty_n neither_o at_o present_a have_v i_o so_o much_o time_n as_o to_o spend_v it_o about_o such_o nicety_n but_o i_o shall_v rather_o here_o consider_v what_o heretofore_o represent_v itself_o to_o my_o thought_n free_o and_o natural_o whenever_o i_o set_v myself_o to_o understand_v what_o i_o myself_o be_v and_o the_o first_o thing_n i_o find_v represent_v itself_o be_v that_o i_o have_v face_n hand_n arm_n and_o this_o whole_a frame_n of_o part_n which_o be_v see_v in_o my_o body_n and_o which_o i_o call_v my_o body_n the_o next_o thing_n represent_v to_o i_o be_v that_o i_o be_v nourish_v can_v walk_v have_v sense_n and_o can_v think_v which_o function_n i_o attribute_v to_o my_o soul_n yet_o what_o this_o soul_n of_o i_o be_v i_o do_v not_o full_o conceive_v or_o else_o suppose_v it_o a_o small_a thing_n like_o wind_n or_o fire_n or_o air_n infuse_v through_o my_o strong_a part_n as_o to_o my_o body_n true_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o i_o right_o understand_v its_o nature_n which_o if_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o describe_v as_o i_o conceive_v it_o i_o shall_v thus_o explain_v viz._n by_o a_o body_n i_o mean_v whatever_o be_v capable_a of_o shape_n or_o can_v be_v contain_v in_o a_o place_n and_o so_o fill_v a_o space_n that_o it_o exclude_v all_o other_o body_n out_o of_o the_o same_o that_o which_o may_v be_v touch_v see_v hear_v taste_v or_o smell_v and_o that_o which_o be_v capable_a of_o various_a motion_n and_o modification_n not_o from_o it_o self_n but_o from_o any_o other_o thing_n move_v it_o for_o i_o judge_v it_o against_o or_o rather_o above_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o body_n to_o move_v itself_o or_o perceive_v or_o think_v but_o rather_o admire_v that_o i_o shall_v find_v these_o operation_n in_o certain_a body_n but_o how_o now_o since_o i_o suppose_v a_o certain_a powerful_a and_z if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o call_v he_o so_o evil_a delude_a solution_n doubt_n and_o solution_n who_o use_v all_o his_o endeavour_n to_o deceive_v i_o in_o all_o thing_n can_v i_o affirm_v that_o i_o have_v any_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v now_o say_v belong_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o body_n hold_v let_v i_o consider_v let_v i_o think_v let_v i_o reflect_v i_o can_v find_v no_o answer_n and_o i_o be_o weary_a with_o repeat_v the_o same_o thing_n over-again_a in_o vain_a but_o which_o of_o these_o faculty_n do_v i_o attribute_v to_o my_o soul_n my_o nutritive_a or_o motive_n faculty_n yet_o now_o see_v i_o have_v no_o body_n these_o also_o be_v mere_a delusion_n be_v it_o my_o sensitive_a faculty_n but_o this_o also_o can_v be_v perform_v without_o a_o body_n and_o i_o have_v seem_v to_o perceive_v many_o thing_n in_o my_o sleep_n of_o which_o i_o afterward_o understand_v myself_o not_o to_o be_v sensible_a be_v it_o my_o cogitative_a faculty_n here_o i_o have_v discover_v it_o it_o be_v my_o thought_n this_o alone_a can_v be_v separate_v from_o i_o i_o be_o i_o exist_v it_o be_v true_a but_o for_o what_o time_n be_o i_o why_o i_o be_o as_o long_o as_o i_o think_v for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o when_o i_o cease_v from_o think_v i_o may_v cease_v from_o be_v now_o i_o admit_v of_o nothing_o but_o what_o be_v necessary_o ture_n in_o short_a therefore_o i_o be_o only_o a_o think_v thing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v objection_n say_v place_n note_v with_o their_o asterisk_n be_v refer_v to_o in_o the_o follow_a objection_n a_o mind_n or_o a_o soul_n or_o understanding_n or_o reason_n word_n which_o former_o i_o understand_v not_o i_o be_o a_o real_a thing_n and_o real_o existent_a but_o what_o sort_n of_o thing_n i_o have_v just_a now_o say_v it_o a_o think_v thing_n but_o be_o i_o nothing_o beside_o i_o will_v consider_v i_o be_o not_o that_o structure_n of_o part_n which_o be_v call_v a_o man_n body_n neither_o be_o i_o any_o sort_n of_o thin_a air_n insfuse_v into_o those_o part_n nor_o a_o wind_n nor_o fire_n nor_o vapour_n nor_o breath_n nor_o whatever_o i_o myself_o can_v feign_v for_o all_o these_o thing_n i_o have_v suppose_v not_o to_o be._n yet_o my_o position_n stand_v firm_a neverthless_a i_o be_o something_o yet_o perhaps_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o that_o these_o very_a thing_n which_o i_o suppose_v not_o to_o exist_v because_o to_o i_o unknown_a be_v in_o reality_n nothing_o different_a from_o that_o very_a self_n which_o i_o know_v i_o can_v tell_v i_o dispute_v it_o not_o now_o i_o can_v only_o give_v my_o opinion_n of_o those_o thing_n whereof_o i_o have_v knowledge_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o i_o exist_v i_o
