their_o modes_n do_v perfect_o abstract_a from_o be_v and_o not_o be_v much_o more_o from_o all_o manner_n of_o be_v 3._o this_o appear_v evident_o by_o those_o word_n which_o signify_v they_o the_o

i_o much_o fear_n that_o such_o reader_n who_o be_v not_o raise_v above_o fancy_n and_o have_v not_o well_o reflect_v how_o all_o truth_n exist_v and_o all_o our_o judgement_n and_o discourse_n that_o be_v right_o make_v do_v consist_v in_o the_o connexion_n of_o term_n will_v look_v upon_o all_o effort_n of_o close_a reason_n as_o chimerical_a and_o think_v they_o to_o be_v only_o a_o kind_n of_o chiquaning_n and_o little_a trick_n of_o logic_n wherefore_o to_o comfort_v the_o uneasy_a fancy_n of_o such_o weak_a speculater_n i_o desire_v they_o to_o consider_v how_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o divine_a understanding_n before_o they_o be_v create_v and_o be_v still_o there_o and_o how_o their_o idea_n that_o be_v their_o essence_n have_v there_o another_o and_o that_o a_o more_o incomparable_a manner_n of_o be_v than_o they_o have_v in_o themselves_o afterward_o from_o which_o divine_a archetype_n they_o be_v copy_v into_o nature_n and_o thence_o transcribe_v by_o impression_n on_o our_o sense_n into_o human_a understanding_n this_o reflection_n will_v i_o hope_v let_v they_o see_v how_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a but_o consonant_a to_o reason_n that_o the_o selfsame_a thing_n may_v have_v both_o a_o natural_a and_o a_o intellectual_a manner_n of_o exist_v i_o note_v by_o the_o way_n that_o whereas_o i_o have_v insist_v so_o much_o on_o the_o impropriety_n and_o novelty_n of_o the_o word_n idea_n our_o modern_a ideist_n will_v allege_v that_o plato_n do_v make_v use_n of_o that_o word_n before_o they_o and_o that_o they_o do_v but_o echo_v he_o while_o they_o use_v it_o after_o he_o but_o i_o believe_v they_o will_v find_v upon_o examination_n that_o plato_n mean_v by_o that_o word_n the_o essence_n or_o nature_n of_o thing_n and_o in_o likelihood_n those_o very_a essence_n in_o the_o divine_a understanding_n however_o some_o thought_n he_o misapply_v it_o to_o universal_a idea_n or_o essence_n subsist_v alone_o and_o not_o in_o the_o individual_n now_o do_v our_o modern_n take_v it_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n he_o do_v that_o be_v for_o essence_n and_o not_o for_o resemblance_n only_o i_o shall_v not_o except_v against_o they_o as_o to_o that_o particular_a but_o to_o use_v his_o word_n and_o affix_v another_o sense_n to_o it_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v to_o abuse_v it_o 25._o corollary_n ii_o from_o this_o whole_a discourse_n and_o the_o many_o several_a argument_n in_o it_o it_o appear_v evident_o that_o idea_n unless_o the_o word_n idea_n be_v take_v as_o we_o take_v the_o word_n notion_n that_o be_v unless_o idea_n or_o notion_n or_o whatever_o else_o we_o please_v to_o call_v they_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n in_o our_o understanding_n and_o not_o mere_a resemblance_n of_o they_o they_o can_v never_o reach_v or_o engage_v the_o thing_n itself_o or_o give_v we_o knowledge_n of_o it_o that_o be_v they_o can_v never_o make_v we_o know_v any_o thing_n any_o more_o than_o a_o picture_n can_v make_v we_o know_v a_o man_n we_o never_o see_v nor_o ever_o shall_v or_o can_v see_v but_o by_o mean_n of_o that_o picture_n that_o be_v not_o at_o all_o and_o therefore_o as_o i_o can_v but_o judge_v what_o i_o here_o advance_v to_o be_v true_a and_o withal_o most_o necessary_a to_o be_v tell_v so_o i_o be_o oblige_v without_o ask_v leave_n of_o any_o to_o do_v that_o right_n to_o truth_n as_o to_o declare_v that_o those_o many_o schem_n of_o doctrine_n weave_v upon_o such_o idea_n as_o their_o groundwork_n though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o ingenious_a and_o coherent_a within_o themselves_o and_o may_v be_v of_o some_o use_n in_o logic_n to_o distinguish_v our_o notion_n be_v both_o mere_o superficial_a and_o perfect_o useless_a in_o philosophy_n which_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n and_o can_v only_o serve_v to_o please_v the_o daedalean_a fancy_n of_o the_o ingenious_a contriver_n and_o witty_a descanter_n upon_o they_o but_o can_v never_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o solid_a knowledge_n of_o any_o one_o thing_n in_o nature_n nor_o verify_v any_o one_o predication_n or_o judgement_n we_o make_v nor_o enable_v we_o in_o our_o speculative_a or_o even_o common_a discourse_n about_o any_o thing_n to_o speak_v one_o word_n of_o good_a sense_n not_o that_o i_o think_v that_o mr._n locke_n do_v still_o take_v the_o word_n idea_n in_o that_o unaccountable_a meaning_n but_o that_o the_o acuteness_n of_o his_o natural_a genius_n do_v general_o carry_v he_o perhaps_o unreflect_o to_o mean_v by_o that_o word_n the_o same_o i_o mean_v by_o notion_n though_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n he_o total_o abstract_n from_o meddle_v design_o with_o this_o abstruse_a point_n 26._o corollary_n iii_o hence_o also_o we_o may_v gain_v some_o light_n what_o knowledge_n be_v for_o it_o have_v be_v demonstrate_v that_o our_o be_v notion_n on_o which_o all_o our_o knowledge_n be_v ground_v and_o of_o which_o they_o be_v compound_v be_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o thing_n know_v and_o consequent_o that_o our_o soul_n consider_v precise_o as_o know_v those_o nature_n or_o have_v they_o in_o she_o as_o in_o their_o subject_n be_v as_o such_o those_o very_a thing_n which_o be_v constitute_v by_o those_o nature_n wherefore_o our_o know_v that_o those_o thing_n be_v or_o be_v such_o or_o such_o which_o be_v complete_a knowledge_n be_v the_o have_v those_o

that_o be_v the_o thing_n within_o she_o must_v be_v as_o the_o thing_n in_o nature_n be_v wherefore_o when_o the_o soul_n know_v any_o thing_n in_o nature_n she_o must_v be_v that_o thing_n as_o it_o
