how_o the_o bare_a pattern_v out_o of_o the_o exterior_a figure_n of_o a_o object_n can_v give_v we_o a_o information_n of_o its_o interior_n nature_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o although_o our_o

of_o these_o creature_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o perception_n of_o our_o exterior_a sense_n can_v exact_o be_v know_v nevertheless_o although_o our_o exterior_a sense_n have_v no_o perception_n thereof_o yet_o their_o own_o part_n which_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o as_o also_o their_o adjoin_v or_o neighbour_a part_n may_v for_o example_n a_o man_n know_v he_o have_v a_o digestion_n in_o his_o

by_o one_o act_n of_o perception_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n next_o i_o say_v that_o no_o sense_n be_v make_v by_o one_o single_a part_n but_o every_o sense_n consist_v of_o several_a part_n and_o therefore_o the_o perception_n of_o one_o sense_n may_v very_o well_o pattern_n out_o several_a object_n at_o once_o for_o example_n i_o see_v a_o embroider_v bed_n my_o eye_n pattern_n out_o both_o the_o velvet_n gold_n silver_n silk_n colour_n and_o the_o workmanship_n nay_o superficial_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o whole_a bed_n and_o all_o this_o by_o one_o act_n and_o at_o one_o the_o same_o time_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o one_o object_n may_v have_v several_a propriety_n which_o be_v not_o all_o subject_n to_o the_o perception_n of_o one_o sense_n as_o for_o example_n the_o smell_n of_o a_o odoriferous_a body_n and_o its_o colour_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o same_o sense_n neither_o be_v the_o hardness_n or_o softness_n roughness_n or_o

truth_n be_v it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o several_a sense_n to_o pattern_n
but_o a_o repetition_n of_o the_o same_o figure_n make_v by_o the_o same_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n and_o as_o there_o be_v a_o rational_a remembrance_n which_o be_v a_o repetition_n of_o
