by_o the_o pure_a understanding_n spiritual_a and_o universal_a thing_n common_a notion_n the_o idea_n of_o perfection_n and_o of_o a_o infinite_o perfect_a be_v and_o general_o all_o its_o thought_n when_o it_o know_v they_o by_o selfreflection_n it_o also_o perceive_v some_o material_a thing_n by_o the_o pure_a understanding_n as_o extension_n with_o its_o property_n for_o it_o be_v only_o the_o pure_a understanding_n which_o can_v perceive_v a_o circle_n a_o perfect_a square_n a_o figure_n with_o a_o thousand_o angle_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n these_o kind_n of_o perception_n i_o call_v pure_a intellection_n or_o pure_a perception_n because_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o the_o mind_n to_o form_v corporeal_a image_n in_o the_o brain_n to_o represent_v all_o those_o thing_n the_o soul_n perceive_v only_o material_a thing_n by_o the_o imagination_n which_o represent_v they_o when_o absent_a as_o if_o they_o be_v present_a by_o form_v image_n of_o they_o in_o the_o brain_n it_o be_v thus_o that_o we_o imagine_v all_o sort_n of_o figure_n as_o a_o circle_n a_o triangle_n a_o face_n a_o horse_n city_n campaigne_v etc._n etc._n whether_o we_o have_v ever_o see_v they_o or_o not_o these_o sort_n of_o perception_n i_o call_v imagination_n because_o the_o soul_n represent_v these_o thing_n by_o form_v image_n of_o they_o in_o the_o brain_n and_o because_o we_o can_v form_v image_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o soul_n can_v imagine_v they_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v well_o observe_v in_o fine_a the_o soul_n only_o perceive_v sensible_a and_o gross_a object_n by_o the_o sense_n which_o when_o present_a make_v a_o impression_n upon_o the_o external_n organ_n of_o its_o body_n thus_o it_o see_v plain_n and_o rock_n when_o present_v to_o its_o eye_n and_o feel_v the_o hardness_n of_o iron_n the_o point_n of_o a_o sword_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n and_o these_o sort_n of_o perception_n i_o call_v sentiment_n or_o sensation_n the_o soul_n then_o only_o perceive_v thing_n after_o these_o three_o way_n which_o be_v evident_a if_o we_o consider_v that_o all_o thing_n we_o perceive_v be_v either_o spiritual_a or_o material_a if_o they_o be_v spiritual_a it_o be_v only_o the_o pure_a understanding_n which_o can_v know_v they_o but_o if_o they_o be_v material_a they_o will_v be_v either_o present_a or_o absent_a if_o they_o be_v absent_a the_o soul_n perceive_v they_o only_o by_o the_o imagination_n if_o present_a by_o the_o impression_n which_o they_o make_v upon_o its_o sense_n and_o thus_o as_o we_o say_v before_o our_o soul_n only_o perceive_v thing_n after_o three_o way_n by_o the_o pure_a understanding_n by_o the_o imagination_n and_o by_o the_o sense_n we_o may_v then_o look_v upon_o these_o three_o faculty_n as_o certain_a head_n to_o which_o we_o may_v refer_v man_n error_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o these_o error_n and_o so_o avoid_v the_o confusion_n wherein_o their_o great_a number_n will_v infallible_o involve_v we_o if_o we_o shall_v speak_v of_o they_o without_o any_o method_n but_o our_o inclination_n and_o passion_n act_v also_o very_o strong_o upon_o we_o they_o dazzle_v our_o mind_n by_o their_o false_a light_n they_o cover_v and_o fill_v it_o with_o darkness_n thus_o our_o inclination_n and_o passion_n engage_v we_o in_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o error_n when_o we_o follow_v this_o false_a light_n which_o they_o produce_v in_o we_o we_o must_v then_o consider_v they_o with_o the_o three_o faculty_n of_o the_o mind_n as_o the_o source_n of_o our_o error_n and_o miscarriage_n and_o to_o the_o error_n of_o the_o sense_n imagination_n and_o pure_a understanding_n also_o join_v these_o that_o may_v be_v attribute_v to_o the_o passion_n and_o natural_a

these_o error_n and_o of_o such_o thing_n as_o we_o believe_v necessary_a for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n mind_n chap_n v._n of_o the_o sense_n i._o two_o way_n of_o explain_v

in_o the_o use_n of_o our_o sense_n when_o we_o serious_o examine_v the_o sense_n and_o passion_n of_o man_n we_o find_v they_o so_o proportion_v to_o the_o end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v give_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o of_o their_o opinion_n who_o say_v they_o be_v whole_o corrupt_v by_o original_a sin_n but_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o reason_n that_o we_o dissent_v from_o they_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o explain_v in_o what_o order_n the_o faculty_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n be_v whilst_o in_o a_o state_n of_o righteousness_n and_o the_o change_n

we_o towards_o some_o good_a which_o must_v be_v so_o much_o the_o strong_a as_o the_o good_a be_v great_a according_a to_o this_o principle_n i_o think_v we_o can_v doubt_v but_o that_o our_o first_o

and_o since_o god_n be_v his_o true_a good_a it_o may_v say_v that_o he_o be_v incline_v to_o delight_v in_o god_n who_o induce_v he_o to_o his_o love_n by_o a_o sensation_n of_o pleasure_n and_o
