now_o to_o his_o instance_n why_o do_v a_o reflex_n show_v it_o not_o to_o be_v in_o the_o object_n he_o set_v not_o down_o but_o perhaps_o he_o may_v say_v in_o a_o glass_n the_o image_n may_v seem_v

with_o his_o own_o shadow_n in_o a_o glass_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o sight_n judge_v of_o colour_n deceive_v and_o therein_o be_v not_o deceive_v when_o the_o distance_n be_v not_o too_o

object_n to_o it_o and_o other_o sense_n it_o be_v easy_o mistake_v of_o which_o kind_n be_v figure_n greatness_n or_o littleness_n distance_n of_o place_n and_o many_o the_o like_a thus_o it_o mistake_v the_o distance_n of_o the_o moon_n from_o the_o earth_n the_o bigness_n of_o the_o star_n but_o then_o beside_o these_o common_a object_n there_o be_v other_o which_o be_v objectum_fw-la per_fw-la accidens_fw-la as_o logician_n a_o object_n not_o out_o of_o its_o own_o nature_n affect_v that_o act_n or_o faculty_n in_o its_o self_n but_o by_o reason_n of_o some_o other_o thing_n to_o which_o it_o be_v annex_v or_o happen_v to_o be_v join_v so_o we_o may_v say_v we_o see_v socrates_n or_o plato_n when_o we_o see_v they_o not_o but_o their_o colour_n and_o that_o colour_n of_o

we_o think_v he_o not_o the_o same_o man_n my_o opinion_n of_o this_o mistake_n be_v because_o although_o the_o vision_n of_o the_o colour_n be_v a_o act_n of_o sight_n yet_o the_o apply_v that_o

that_o the_o reader_n may_v the_o full_a apprehend_v my_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n punctual_o than_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o judgement_n of_o sense_n as_o to_o say_v that_o colour_n be_v not_o in_o the_o object_n for_o although_o sense_n perhaps_o can_v only_o discern_v the_o colour_n in_o the_o glass_n yet_o sense_n meddle_v not_o with_o that_o question_n

in_o the_o glass_n or_o not_o but_o if_o it_o do_v meddle_v with_o this_o last_o yet_o in_o that_o speech_n which_o say_v it_o be_v in_o the_o glass_n sense_n meddle_v beyond_o its_o sphere_n it_o

it_o know_v circumstantial_o conduce_v to_o the_o truth_n but_o can_v judge_v of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o its_o proper_a object_n so_o then_o to_o say_v sense_n see_v it_o in_o a_o glass_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o colour_n in_o the_o object_n be_v vain_a to_o reason_n which_o can_v discern_v that_o every_o accident_n follow_v its_o subject_n remove_v the_o glass_n from_o the_o
