Examination Until that be done there will be always these Two ways left of evading the most apparent Probabilities First That the Arguments being brought in Words there may be a fallacy latent in them and the consequences being perhaps many in train may be some of them incoherent There are few Discourses so short and clear to which Men may not with satisfaction enough to themselves raise this Doubt and from whose Conviction they may not without reproach of Disingenuity or Unreasonableness set themselves free Secondly Manifest Probabilities may be evaded upon this Suggestion that I know not yet all that may be said on the contrary side and therefore thô a Man be beaten it is not necessary he should yield not knowing what Forces there are in reserve behind Fourthly Authority or the giving up our Assent to the common received Opinions either of our Friends or Party Neighbourhood or Country How many Men have no other ground for their Tenents than the supposed Honesty or Learning or Number of those of the same Profession As if Honest or Bookish Men could not err or Truth were to be established by the Vote of the Multitude Yet this with most Men serves the turn All Men are liable to Error and most Men are in many points by Passion or Interest under temptation to it This is certain that there is not an Opinion so absurd which a Man may not receive upon this ground There is no Error to be named which has not had its Professors And a Man shall never want crooked paths to walk in if he thinks that he is in the right way wherever he has the Footsteps of others to follow But notwithstanding the great noise is made in the World about Errors and Opinions I must do Mankind that right as to say there are not so many Men in Errors and wrong Opinions as is commonly supposed not that I think they embrace the Truth but indeed because concerning those Doctrines they keep such a stirr about they have no Thought no Opinion at all For if any one should a little Catechize the greatest part of the Partisans of most of the Sects in the World he would not find concerning those matters they are so zealous for that they have any Opinions of their own Much less would he have reason to think that they took them upon the examination of Arguments and appearance of Probability They are resolved to stick to a Party that Education or Interest has engaged them in and there like the common Soldiers of an Army shew their Courage and Warmth as their Leaders direct without ever examining or so much as knowing the Cause they contend for CHAP. XX. Of the Division of the Sciences ALL that can fall within the compass of Humane Understanding being either First The Nature of Things their Relations and their manner of Operation Or Secondly That which Man himself ought to do as a rational and voluntary Agent for the attainment of any End especially Happiness Or Thirdly The ways and means whereby the Knowledge of both of these are attained and communicated I think Science may be properly divided into these Three Sorts First The Knowledge of Things Their Constitutions Properties and Operations whether Material or Immaterial This in a litt●e more enlarged Sense of the Word I call 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Natural Philosophy The end of this is bare Speculative Truth and whatsoever can afford the Mind of Man any such falls under this branch whether it be God himself Angels Spirits Bodies or any of their Affections as Number Figure c. Secondly 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The skill of Right applying our own Powers and Actions for the attainment of Things good and useful The most considerable under this head is Ethicks which is the seeking out those Rules and Measures of humane Actions which lead to Happiness and the means to practise them The end of this is not bare Speculation but Right and a Conduct suitable thereto Thirdly 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Or the Doctrine of Signs the most usual being Words it is aptly enough termed Logick The Business whereof is to consider the nature of Signs which the Mind makes use of for the Understanding of Things or conveying its Knowledge to others Things are represented to the Mind by Ideas and Mens Ideas are communicated to one another by Articulate Sounds or Words The Consideration then of Ideas and Words as the great Instruments of Knowledge makes no despicable part of their Contemplation who would take a view of Humane Knowledge in the whole Extent of it This seems to me the First and most general as well as natural Division of the Objects of our Understanding For a Man can employ his Thoughts about nothing but either the Contemplation of Things themselves for the discovery of Truth or about the Things in his own Power which are his Actions for the attainment of his own Ends or the Signs the Mind makes use of both in the one and the other and the right ordering of them for its clearer Information All which Three viz. Things as they are in themselves Knowable Actions as they depend on us in order to Happiness and the right use of Signs in order to Knowledge being Toto Coelo different they seemed to me to be the Three great Provinces of the Intellectual World wholly separate and distinct one from another FINIS THE CONTENTS OF THE Second BOOK THe Introduction Page 1 Chap.
