much_o to_o be_v doubt_v thus_o mr._n lock_n now_o this_o seem_v very_o high_a that_o no_o man_n can_v imagine_v they_o or_o either_o of_o they_o to_o be_v innate_a principle_n when_o according_a to_o

when_o §_o 18._o he_o say_v of_o the_o three_o proposition_n that_o it_o be_v of_o very_o little_a use_n in_o humane_a life_n and_o that_o it_o teach_v little_a this_o imply_v that_o it_o be_v of_o some_o use_n and_o teach_v something_o and_o §_o 19_o when_o he_o say_v of_o the_o four_o proposition_n that_o it_o be_v not_o much_o more_o instructive_a than_o the_o three_o he_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v more_o instructive_a though_o not_o much_o more_o mr._n lock_n say_v that_o they_o can_v be_v imagine_v to_o be_v of_o any_o use_n unless_o the_o particular_a measure_n and_o bound_n of_o all_o

can_v be_v draw_v as_o a_o conclusion_n from_o that_o which_o have_v go_v before_o he_o have_v say_v a_o little_a before_o that_o the_o word_n sin_n be_v usual_o put_v to_o signify_v in_o general_a

thence_o that_o it_o scarce_o seem_v possible_a that_o god_n shall_v engrave_v principle_n in_o man_n mind_n in_o word_n of_o uncertain_a signification_n as_o the_o word_n sin_n be_v as_o to_o the_o

for_o though_o some_o may_v say_v this_o be_v a_o virtue_n when_o other_o may_v account_v it_o a_o vice_n and_o this_o be_v a_o sin_n or_o vice_n when_o other_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o virtue_n yet_o by_o the_o word_n virtue_n and_o sin_n they_o mean_v the_o same_o thing_n viz._n by_o sin_n a_o ill_a action_n by_o virtue_n a_o laudable_a one_o mr._n lock_n proceed_v and_o say_v
