i_o do_v not_o see_v what_o foundation_n there_o be_v in_o nature_n for_o a_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o where_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o matter_n there_o be_v no_o freedom_n of_o act_v where_o

but_o solomon_n positive_o conclude_v there_o will_v be_v a_o judgement_n to_o come_v as_o to_o good_a and_o evil_a action_n in_o another_o world_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v be_v understand_v in_o

immaterial_a 73._o no_o you_o say_v you_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o affirm_v that_o spirit_n never_o do_v signify_v a_o pure_o immaterial_a substance_n for_o in_o that_o sense_n the_o scripture_n attribute_n the_o notion_n of_o spirit_n to_o god_n and_o you_o have_v prove_v from_o your_o principle_n that_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a immaterial_a substance_n and_o this_o you_o think_v prove_v a_o immaterial_a substance_n in_o your_o way_n of_o idea_n but_o of_o that_o afterward_o we_o be_v yet_o upon_o the_o prove_v a_o immaterial_a substance_n in_o ourselves_o from_o the_o idea_n we_o have_v by_o sensation_n and_o reflection_n now_o i_o say_v still_o this_o be_v impossible_a if_o the_o spiritual_a substance_n in_o we_o may_v be_v material_a and_o at_o last_o you_o grant_v that_o what_o i_o say_v be_v true_a 74._o that_o it_o can_v upon_o these_o principle_n be_v demonstrate_v then_o say_v i_o your_o ground_n of_o certainty_n from_o idea_n be_v plain_o give_v up_o 75._o but_o you_o say_v it_o may_v be_v prove_v probable_a to_o the_o high_a degree_n but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o point_n for_o it_o be_v not_o probability_n but_o certainty_n that_o we_o be_v promise_v in_o

the_o idea_n of_o a_o substance_n which_o do_v subsist_v by_o itself_o this_o look_v a_o little_a untoward_o in_o the_o way_n of_o knowledge_n and_o certainty_n but_o there_o be_v no_o help_n for_o

no_o you_o tell_v i_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o other_o way_n but_o this_o of_o idea_n how_o so_o your_o word_n be_v these_o 40._o the_o general_a indetermined_a idea_n of_o something_o be_v

that_o this_o be_v quite_o off_o from_o the_o matter_n but_o as_o to_o your_o general_a abstract_a idea_n i_o have_v something_o far_a to_o say_v 4._o a_o general_a abstract_a idea_n of_o substance_n be_v no_o real_a substance_n nor_o a_o true_a idea_n of_o one_o if_o particular_a substance_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o complication_n of_o simple_a idea_n for_o you_o say_v 40._o that_o the_o mind_n by_o abstraction_n from_o the_o positive_a simple_a idea_n get_v by_o sensation_n or_o reflection_n come_v to_o the_o general_a relative_n idea_n of_o substance_n if_o then_o the_o general_a idea_n be_v raise_v from_o the_o simple_a idea_n and_o those_o simple_a idea_n make_v that_o of_o particular_a and_o distinct_a substance_n only_o by_o complication_n than_o the_o general_a idea_n of_o

deny_v that_o there_o be_v a_o general_a nature_n of_o substance_n which_o be_v as_o real_a as_o a_o general_a idea_n can_v be_v and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o make_v any_o particular_a substance_n be_v what_o it_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n without_o respect_n to_o individual_a mode_n and_o property_n and_o although_o this_o general_a substance_n do_v not_o exist_v of_o itself_o yet_o it_o

for_o it_o be_v ridiculous_a to_o imagine_v that_o these_o real_o differ_v from_o each_o other_o only_o as_o individual_n of_o the_o same_o sort_n under_o the_o general_a abstract_a idea_n of_o
