the_o first_o objection_n against_o this_o hypothesis_n be_v that_o it_o speak_v of_o soul_n as_o of_o faculty_n or_o power_n and_o not_o as_o of_o thing_n that_o be_v essential_o active_a whereas_o a_o soul_n be_v a_o knowledge_n a_o cogitation_n or_o at_o least_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v always_o busy_a and_o do_v insomuch_o that_o even_o in_o sleep_n it_o do_v not_o all_o rest_n but_o that_o man_n do_v always_o dream_v when_o they_o sleep_v though_o perhaps_o they_o be_v not_o always_o sensible_a that_o they_o do_v i_o know_v not_o how_o true_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v always_o busy_a and_o that_o man_n do_v always_o dream_v when_o they_o sleep_v but_o i_o can_v wish_v they_o do_v only_o dream_n at_o that_o time_n for_o than_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v trouble_v with_o so_o many_o groundless_a fantastic_a opinion_n but_o to_o come_v near_o the_o matter_n i_o know_v a_o person_n who_o affirm_v that_o to_o his_o knowledge_n he_o never_o dream_v in_o his_o whole_a life_n and_o certain_o since_o we_o be_v always_o conscious_a that_o we_o dream_v when_o ever_o we_o do_v we_o ought_v to_o believe_v we_o have_v not_o dream_v at_o all_o when_o we_o be_v not_o sensible_a we_o have_v beside_o how_o do_v they_o know_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v always_o do_v for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o much_o mistake_v if_o i_o do_v not_o experience_n in_o myself_o what_o i_o think_v any_o other_o may_v that_o i_o be_o able_a to_o suspend_v all_o thought_n or_o as_o we_o common_o express_v it_o think_v of_o nothing_o to_o be_v sure_a every_o one_o who_o have_v make_v the_o least_o reflection_n must_v needs_o know_v that_o as_o we_o have_v eye_n and_o ear_n and_o other_o sensitive_a organ_n and_o so_o do_v see_v and_o hear_v and_o be_v conscious_a of_o other_o sentiment_n in_o case_n our_o eye_n and_o ear_n and_o those_o other_o organ_n which_o we_o have_v be_v impress_v by_o external_n object_n so_o ordinary_o we_o do_v neither_o see_v nor_o hear_v or_o be_v conscious_a of_o any_o other_o sentiment_n of_o any_o external_n object_n if_o these_o do_v not_o affect_v our_o organ_n without_o the_o presence_n of_o object_n we_o be_v only_o say_v to_o have_v the_o faculty_n or_o power_n that_o be_v we_o be_v say_v only_o to_o be_v able_a to_o see_v to_o hear_v etc._n etc._n but_o upon_o the_o presence_n of_o object_n and_o the_o application_n of_o

the_o mind_n or_o understanding_n be_v a_o organical_a thing_n as_o well_o as_o the_o external_n sense_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v but_o that_o as_o there_o be_v no_o actual_a sensation_n
