they_o agree_v with_o thing_n themselves_o this_o though_o it_o seem_v not_o to_o want_v difficulty_n yet_o i_o think_v there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o idea_n that_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v agree_v with_o thing_n §_o 4._o first_o the_o first_o be_v simple_a idea_n which_o since_o the_o mind_n as_o have_v be_v show_v can_v by_o no_o mean_n make_v to_o itself_o must_v necessary_o be_v the_o product_n of_o thing_n operate_n on_o the_o mind_n in_o a_o natural_a way_n and_o produce_v therein_o those_o perception_n which_o by_o the_o wisdom_n and_o will_n of_o our_o maker_n they_o be_v ordain_v and_o adapt_v to_o from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o simple_a idea_n be_v not_o fiction_n of_o our_o fancy_n but_o the_o natural_a and_o regular_a production_n of_o thing_n without_o we_o real_o operate_n upon_o we_o and_o so_o carry_v with_o they_o all_o the_o conformity_n our_o state_n require_v which_o be_v to_o represent_v thing_n under_o those_o appearance_n they_o be_v fit_v to_o produce_v in_o we_o whereby_o we_o may_v distinguish_v the_o substance_n they_o be_v in_o and_o apply_v they_o to_o our_o uses_n thus_o the_o idea_n of_o whiteness_n or_o bitterness_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o mind_n exact_o answer_v that_o power_n which_o be_v in_o any_o body_n to_o produce_v it_o there_o have_v all_o the_o real_a conformity_n it_o can_v or_o aught_o to_o have_v with_o thing_n without_o we_o and_o this_o conformity_n between_o our_o simple_a idea_n and_o the_o existence_n of_o thing_n be_v sufficient_a for_o real_a knowledge_n §_o 5._o second_o all_o our_o complex_fw-la idea_n except_o those_o of_o substance_n be_v archetype_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v own_o make_v not_o intend_v to_o be_v the_o copy_n of_o any_o thing_n nor_o refer_v to_o the_o existence_n of_o any_o thing_n as_o to_o their_o original_n can_v want_v any_o conformity_n necessary_a to_o real_a knowledge_n for_o that_o which_o be_v not_o design_v to_o represent_v any_o thing_n but_o itself_o can_v never_o be_v capable_a of_o a_o wrong_a representation_n nor_o mislead_v we_o from_o the_o true_a apprehension_n of_o any_o thing_n by_o its_o dislikeness_n to_o it_o and_o such_o except_v those_o of_o substance_n be_v all_o our_o complex_fw-la idea_n which_o as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o another_o place_n be_v combination_n of_o idea_n which_o the_o mind_n by_o its_o free_a choice_n put_v together_o without_o consider_v any_o connexion_n they_o have_v in_o nature_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o in_o all_o these_o sort_v the_o idea_n themselves_o be_v consider_v as_o the_o archetype_n and_o thing_n no_o otherwise_o regard_v but_o as_o they_o be_v conformable_a to_o they_o so_o that_o we_o can_v but_o be_v infallible_o certain_a that_o all_o the_o knowledge_n we_o attain_v concern_v these_o idea_n be_v real_a and_o reach_n thing_n themselves_o because_o in_o all_o our_o thought_n reason_n and_o discourse_n of_o this_o kind_n we_o intend_v thing_n no_o far_o than_o as_o they_o be_v conformable_a to_o our_o idea_n so_o that_o in_o these_o we_o can_v miss_v of_o a_o certain_a undoubted_a reality_n §_o 6._o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o will_v be_v easy_o grant_v that_o the_o knowledge_n we_o may_v have_v of_o mathematical_a truth_n be_v not_o only_o certain_a but_o real_a knowledge_n not_o idle_a chimaera_n of_o man_n brain_n and_o yet_o if_o we_o will_v consider_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v only_o of_o our_o own_o idea_n the_o mathematician_n consider_v the_o truth_n and_o property_n belong_v to_o a_o rectangle_n or_o circle_n only_o as_o they_o be_v in_o idea_n in_o his_o own_o mind_n for_o it_o be_v possible_a he_o never_o find_v either_o of_o they_o exist_v mathematical_o i._n e._n precise_o true_a in_o his_o life_n but_o yet_o the_o knowledge_n he_o have_v of_o any_o truth_n or_o property_n belong_v to_o a_o circle_n or_o any_o other_o mathematical_a figure_n be_v nevertheless_o true_a and_o certain_a even_o of_o real_a thing_n exist_v because_o real_a thing_n be_v no_o far_o concern_v nor_o intend_v to_o be_v mean_v by_o any_o such_o proposition_n than_o as_o thing_n real_o agree_v to_o those_o archetype_n in_o his_o mind_n be_v it_o true_a of_o the_o idea_n of_o a_o triangle_n that_o its_o three_o angle_n be_v equal_a to_o two_o right_a one_o it_o be_v true_a also_o of_o a_o triangle_n wherever_o it_o real_o exist_v what_o ever_o other_o figure_n exist_v that_o be_v not_o exact_o answerable_a to_o that_o idea_n of_o a_o triangle_n in_o his_o mind_n be_v not_o at_o all_o concern_v in_o that_o proposition_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v certain_a all_o his_o knowledge_n concern_v such_o idea_n be_v real_a knowledge_n because_o intend_v thing_n no_o far_a than_o they_o agree_v with_o those_o his_o idea_n he_o be_v sure_o what_o he_o know_v concern_v those_o figure_n when_o they_o have_v bare_o a_o ideal_o existence_n in_o his_o mind_n will_v hold_v true_a of_o they_o also_o when_o they_o have_v a_o real_a existence_n in_o matter_n his_o consideration_n be_v bare_o of_o those_o figure_n which_o be_v the_o same_o wherever_o or_o however_o they_o exist_v §_o 7._o and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o moral_a knowledge_n be_v as_o capable_a of_o real_a certainty_n as_o mathematics_n for_o certainty_n be_v but_o the_o perception_n of_o the_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n of_o our_o idea_n and_o demonstration_n nothing_o but_o the_o perception_n of_o such_o agreement_n by_o the_o intervention_n of_o other_o idea_n or_o medium_n our_o moral_a idea_n as_o well_o as_o mathematical_a be_v archetype_n themselves_o and_o so_o adequate_a and_o complete_a idea_n all_o the_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n we_o shall_v find_v in_o they_o will_v produce_v real_a knowledge_n as_o well_o as_o in_o mathematical_a figure_n §_o 8._o that_o which_o be_v requisite_a to_o make_v our_o knowledge_n certain_a be_v the_o clearness_n of_o our_o idea_n and_o that_o which_o be_v require_v to_o make_v it_o re●l_v be_v that_o they_o answer_v their_o archetype_n nor_o let_v it_o be_v wonder_v that_o i_o place_v the_o certainty_n of_o our_o knowledge_n in_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o idea_n with_o so_o little_a care_n and_o regard_v as_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o the_o real_a existence_n of_o
