great_a and_o excellent_a that_o i_o may_v be_v assure_v the_o same_o can_v be_v in_o i_o either_o formaliter_fw-la or_o eminenter_fw-la and_o therefore_o i_o can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o

when_o i_o have_v sum_v up_o all_o i_o know_v of_o they_o it_o amount_v to_o no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o i_o be_o even_o ignorant_a whether_o they_o be_v true_a or_o false_a i._n e._n whether_o such_o idea_n as_o i_o conceive_v of_o they_o be_v the_o idea_n of_o thing_n real_o existent_a or_o of_o nonentities_a for_o though_o i_o have_v faithful_o observe_v that_o falsity_n proper_o and_o most_o emphatical_o so_o call_v or_o formal_a falsity_n can_v be_v no_o where_o find_v in_o the_o world_n but_o in_o our_o judgement_n or_o determination_n yet_o be_v there_o another_o material_a falsity_n in_o our_o idea_n when_o they_o represent_v a_o nonentity_n for_o a_o real_a entity_n a_o nothing_o in_o stead_n of_o a_o something_o thus_o to_o exemplify_v the_o representation_n which_o i_o have_v of_o heat_n and_o cold_a appear_v so_o narrow_a dim_a and_o confuse_a that_o my_o most_o intense_a and_o acute_a speculation_n can_v acquire_v from_o they_o any_o plenary_a and_o stable_a satisfaction_n whether_o can_v be_v only_o a_o privation_n of_o heat_n or_o heat_v no_o more_o but_o the_o privation_n of_o cold_a whether_o both_o be_v real_a and_o positive_a quality_n or_o neither_o and_o since_o there_o can_v be_v no_o idea_n but_o as_o of_o real_a entity_n in_o regard_v it_o be_v a_o truth_n apparent_a that_o cold_a be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o privation_n of_o heat_n that_o same_o idea_n which_o exhibi●s_v cold_a as_o something_o real_a and_o positive_a may_v just_o be_v repute_v false_a and_o so_o likewise_o may_v other_o of_o the_o same_o series_n to_o such_o idea_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o i_o assign_v any_o other_o original_n beside_o myself_o for_o since_o they_o may_v be_v material_o false_a i._n e._n represent_v nothing_o

that_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a dissimilitude_n between_o these_o two_o conception_n yet_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v reconcile_v and_o shake_v hand_n in_o termino_fw-la
