medium_n between_o both_o the_o strong_a and_o lively_a sensation_n be_v those_o which_o surprise_n the_o mind_n and_o awaken_v it_o with_o some_o force_n because_o they_o be_v either_o very_o agreeable_a or_o very_o troublesome_a such_o as_o be_v pain_n or_o pleasure_n heat_v or_o cold_a and_o general_o all_o such_o as_o be_v not_o only_o accompany_v with_o impression_n in_o the_o brain_n but_o also_o with_o some_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n such_o as_o be_v proper_a for_o the_o exciting_a the_o passion_n as_o shall_v afterward_o be_v explain_v the_o weak_a and_o languish_v sensation_n be_v those_o which_o very_o little_o affect_v the_o soul_n and_o which_o be_v neither_o very_a agreeable_a nor_o very_o troublesome_a as_o a_o moderate_a light_n all_o colour_n ordinary_a sound_n which_o be_v very_o weak_a etc._n etc._n and_o the_o medium_fw-la between_o both_o i_o call_v those_o sort_n of_o sensation_n which_o indifferent_o touch_v the_o soul_n as_o a_o great_a light_n a_o violent_a sound_n etc._n etc._n now_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o a_o weak_a and_o languish_v sensation_n may_v become_v indifferent_a and_o afterward_o strong_a and_o lively_a for_o example_n the_o sensation_n that_o we_o have_v of_o light_n be_v weak_a when_o the_o light_n of_o a_o flambeau_n be_v weak_a and_o languish_a or_o very_o far_o from_o we_o and_o afterward_o this_o sensation_n may_v become_v indifferent_a if_o the_o flambeau_n be_v bring_v near_o enough_o to_o we_o and_o at_o last_o it_o may_v become_v very_o strong_a and_o lively_a if_o the_o flambeau_n be_v bring_v so_o near_o our_o eye_n that_o they_o be_v dazzle_v with_o it_o or_o else_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o sun_n thus_o the_o sensation_n of_o light_n may_v be_v strong_a weak_a or_o moderate_a according_a to_o its_o different_a degree_n these_o be_v then_o the_o judgement_n that_o our_o soul_n make_v of_o these_o three_o sort_n of_o sensation_n sensation_n v._o error_n which_o

only_o judge_v they_o to_o be_v in_o the_o object_n but_o also_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v in_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n which_o it_o consider_v as_o a_o part_n of_o itself_o thus_o it_o judge_v that_o cold_a and_o heat_n be_v not_o only_o in_o the_o ice_n and_o fire_n but_o that_o they_o be_v also_o in_o its_o own_o hand_n the_o languish_v sensation_n so_o little_o affect_v the_o soul_n that_o it_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o to_o belong_v to_o it_o nor_o that_o they_o be_v either_o within_o itself_o or_o the_o body_n but_o only_o in_o the_o object_n it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n that_o we_o take_v away_o light_a and_o colour_n from_o our_o soul_n and_o eye_n thereby_o to_o adorn_v external_n object_n with_o they_o although_o reason_n teach_v we_o that_o they_o be_v not_o in_o the_o idea_n we_o have_v of_o matter_n and_o experience_n show_v we_o we_o ought_v to_o judge_v they_o in_o our_o eye_n as_o well_o as_o upon_o object_n since_o we_o see_v they_o as_o

as_o for_o indifferent_a sensation_n the_o soul_n be_v very_o much_o perplex_v with_o they_o for_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n it_o will_v follow_v the_o natural_a judgement_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o

that_o it_o guide_v itself_o in_o the_o judgement_n it_o make_v of_o they_o if_o a_o sensation_n affect_v it_o very_o much_o it_o conclude_v it_o to_o be_v in_o its_o own_o body_n as_o well_o as_o

_fw-la qua_fw-la tamen_fw-la tangitur_fw-la there_o be_v many_o passage_n in_o st._n austin_n like_v unto_o this_o by_o which_o he_o prove_v that_o we_o see_v god_n even_o in_o this_o life_n by_o the_o knowledge_n we_o have_v of_o eternal_a truth_n truth_n be_v uncreated_a immutable_a immense_a eternal_a above_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v true_a by_o itself_o it_o derive_v its_o perfection_n from_o nothing_o it_o make_v creature_n more_o perfect_a and_o all_o spirit_n natural_o endeavour_v to_o know_v it_o nothing_o but_o god_n can_v have_v all_o those_o perfection_n therefore_o truth_n be_v god_n we_o see_v some_o of_o those_o immutable_a eternal_a truth_n therefore_o we_o see_v god_n these_o be_v st._n augustine_n reason_n we_o differ_v a_o little_a from_o they_o and_o we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o use_v the_o authority_n of_o so_o great_a a_o man_n unjust_o to_o second_v our_o sentiment_n we_o believe_v that_o truth_n even_o those_o that_o be_v eternal_a as_o that_o twice_o two_o be_v four_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o absolute_a being_n so_o far_o be_v we_o from_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v in_o god_n for_o it_o be_v visible_a that_o that_o truth_n only_o consist_v in_o a_o relation_n of_o equality_n which_o be_v between_o twice_o two_o and_o four_n therefore_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o we_o see_v god_n in_o see_v truth_n as_o st._n austin_n say_v but_o in_o see_v the_o idea_n of_o those_o truth_n for_o idea_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o the_o idea_n which_o be_v truth_n have_v no_o reality_n when_o for_o example_n man_n say_v that_o the_o cloth_n they_o measure_v contain_v three_o yard_n the_o cloth_n and_o the_o yard_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o three_o yard_n and_o the_o cloth_n be_v not_o a_o real_a be_v it_o be_v only_o a_o relation_n that_o be_v between_o the_o three_o yard_n and_o the_o cloth_n when_o we_o say_v that_o twice_o two_o be_v four_n the_o idea_n of_o the_o number_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n there_o be_v between_o they_o be_v only_o a_o relation_n thus_o according_a to_o our_o sentiment_n we_o see_v god_n when_o we_o see_v eternal_a truth_n not_o that_o those_o eternal_a truth_n be_v god_n but_o because_o the_o idea_n on_o which_o those_o truth_n depend_v be_v in_o god_n perhaps_o st._n austin_n understand_v it_o so_o we_o also_o believe_v that_o we_o know_v in_o god_n changeable_n and_o corrubtible_a thing_n although_o st._n austin_n only_o speak_v of_o immutable_a and_o incorruptible_a thing_n because_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o that_o to_o place_v

but_o though_o i_o say_v we_o see_v in_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v material_a and_o sensible_a it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o i_o do_v not_o say_v we_o have_v a_o sensation_n of_o they_o in_o

sensation_n it_o be_v in_o god_n we_o see_v it_o because_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o discover_v it_o to_o we_o and_o god_n join_v sensation_n to_o the_o idea_n when_o object_n be_v present_a to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v believe_v they_o as_o they_o be_v and_o that_o we_o may_v have_v such_o sensation_n and_o passion_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v in_o relation_n to_o they_o last_o we_o believe_v that_o all_o spirit_n see_v the_o eternal_a law_n as_o well_o as_o other_o thing_n in_o god_n but_o with_o some_o difference_n they_o know_v the_o eternal_a order_n and_o eternal_a truth_n and_o even_o the_o being_n which_z god_n have_v make_v according_a to_o those_o truth_n or_o according_a to_o the_o order_n by_o the_o union_n which_o those_o spirit_n have_v necessary_o with_o the_o word_n or_o wisdom_n of_o god_n which_o direct_v they_o as_o we_o have_v show_v but_o it_o be_v by_o the_o impression_n they_o receive_v continual_o from_o the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o
