it_o be_v easy_o prove_v to_o be_v then_o our_o body_n by_o yesterday_n meditation_n i_o be_o cast_v into_o so_o great_a doubt_n that_o i_o shall_v never_o forget_v they_o and_o yet_o i_o know_v not_o

nevertheless_o i_o will_v endeavour_v once_o more_o and_o try_v the_o way_n i_o set_v on_o yesterday_o by_o remove_v from_o i_o whatever_o be_v in_o the_o least_o doubtful_a as_o if_o i_o have_v certain_o discover_v it_o to_o be_v altogether_o false_a and_o will_v proceed_v till_o i_o find_v out_o some_o certainty_n or_o if_o nothing_o else_o yet_o at_o least_o this_o certainty_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o sure_a archimedes_n require_v but_o a_o point_n which_o be_v firm_a and_o immovable_a that_o he_o may_v move_v the_o whole_a earth_n so_o in_o the_o present_a undertake_n ●reat_a thing_n may_v be_v expect_v if_o i_o can_v discover_v but_o the_o least_o thing_n that_o be_v true_a and_o indisputable_a wherefore_o i_o suppose_v all_o thing_n i_o see_v be_v false_a and_o believe_v that_o nothing_o of_o those_o thing_n be_v real_o existent_a which_o my_o deceitful_a memory_n represent_v to_o i_o it_o be_v evident_a i_o have_v no_o sense_n that_o a_o body_n figure_n extension_n motion_n place_n etc._n etc._n be_v mere_a fiction_n what_o thing_n therefore_o be_v there_o that_o be_v true_a perhaps_o only_o this_o 〈◊〉_d there_o be_v nothing_o certain_a but_o how_o know_v i_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o distinct_a solution_n doubt_n and_o solution_n from_o all_o these_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v now_o reckon_v of_o which_o i_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v be_v there_o no_o god_n or_o whatever_o other_o name_n i_o may_v call_v he_o who_o have_v put_v these_o thought_n into_o i_o yet_o why_o shall_v i_o think_v this_o when_o i_o myself_o perhaps_o be_o the_o author_n of_o they_o upon_o which_o account_n therefore_o must_v not_o i_o be_v something_o it_o be_v but_o just_a now_o that_o i_o deny_v that_o i_o have_v any_o sense_n or_o any_o body_n hold_v a_o while_n be_o i_o so_o tie_v to_o a_o body_n and_o sense_n and_o i_o can_v exist_v without_o they_o but_o i_o have_v peswade_v myself_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n no_o heaven_n no_o earth_n no_o soul_n no_o body_n and_o then_o why_o not_o that_o i_o myself_o be_o not_o yet_o sure_o if_o i_o can_v persuade_v myself_o any_o thing_n i_o be_v but_o there_o be_v i_o know_v not_o what_o sort_n of_o deceivour_n very_o powerful_a and_o very_a crafty_a who_o always_o strive_v to_o deceive_v i_o without_o doubt_v therefore_o i_o be_o if_o he_o can_v deceive_v i_o and_o let_v he_o deceive_v i_o as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v yet_o he_o can_v never_o make_v i_o not_o to_o be_v whilst_o i_o think_v that_o i_o be_o wherefore_o i_o may_v lay_v this_o down_o as_o a_o principle_n that_o whenever_o this_o sentence_n i_o be_o i_o exist_v be_v speak_v or_o think_v of_o by_o i_o it_o be_v necessary_o true_a but_o i_o do_v not_o yet_o full_o understand_v who_o i_o be_o that_o now_o necessary_o exist_v and_o i_o must_v hereafter_o take_v care_n lest_o i_o foolish_o mistake_v some_o other_o thing_n for_o myself_o and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v deceive_v in_o that_o thought_n which_o i_o defend_v as_o the_o most_o certain_a and_o evident_a of_o all_o wherefore_o i_o will_v again_o recollect_v what_o i_o believe_v myself_o to_o be_v heretofore_o before_o i_o have_v set_v upon_o these_o meditation_n from_o which_o notion_n i_o will_v withdraw_v whatever_o may_v be_v disprove_v and_o the_o forementioned_a reason_n that_o in_o the_o end_n that_o only_o may_v remain_v which_o be_v true_a and_o indisputable_a what_o therefore_o hau●_n i_o heretofore_o think_v myself_o a_o man_n but_o what_o be_v a_o man_n shall_v i_o answer_v a_o rational_a animal_n by_o no_o mean_n because_o afterward_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v what_o a_o animal_n be_v and_o what_o rational_a be_v and_o so_o from_o one_o question_n i_o may_v fall_v into_o great_a difficulty_n neither_o at_o present_a have_v i_o so_o much_o time_n as_o to_o spend_v it_o about_o such_o nicety_n but_o i_o shall_v rather_o here_o consider_v what_o heretofore_o represent_v itself_o to_o my_o thought_n free_o and_o natural_o whenever_o i_o set_v myself_o to_o understand_v what_o i_o myself_o be_v and_o the_o first_o thing_n i_o find_v represent_v itself_o be_v that_o i_o have_v face_n

can_v walk_v have_v sense_n and_o can_v think_v which_o function_n i_o attribute_v to_o my_o soul_n yet_o what_o this_o soul_n of_o i_o be_v i_o do_v not_o full_o conceive_v or_o else_o suppose_v it_o a_o small_a thing_n like_o wind_n or_o fire_n or_o air_n infuse_v through_o my_o strong_a part_n as_o to_o my_o body_n true_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o i_o right_o understand_v its_o nature_n which_o if_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o describe_v as_o i_o conceive_v it_o i_o shall_v thus_o explain_v viz._n by_o a_o body_n i_o mean_v whatever_o be_v capable_a of_o shape_n or_o can_v be_v

that_o which_o be_v capable_a of_o various_a motion_n and_o modification_n not_o from_o it_o self_n but_o from_o any_o other_o thing_n move_v it_o for_o i_o judge_v it_o against_o or_o rather_o above_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o body_n to_o move_v itself_o or_o perceive_v or_o think_v but_o rather_o admire_v that_o i_o shall_v find_v these_o operation_n in_o certain_a body_n but_o how_o now_o

be_v it_o my_o cogitative_a faculty_n here_o i_o have_v discover_v it_o it_o be_v my_o thought_n this_o alone_a can_v be_v separate_v from_o i_o i_o be_o i_o exist_v it_o be_v true_a but_o for_o

comprehend_v by_o three_o line●_n but_o i_o also_o behold_v with_o the_o eye_n of_o my_o mind_n those_o three_o line_n as_o it_o be_v before_o i_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o call_v

or_o space_n contain_v by_o they_o and_o herein_o i_o manifest_o perceive_v that_o there_o be_v require_v a_o peculiar_a sort_n of_o operation_n in_o the_o mind_n to_o imagine_v a_o thing_n which_o i_o require_v not_o to_o understand_v a_o thing_n which_o new_a operation_n of_o the_o mind_n plain_o show_v the_o difference_n between_o imagination_n and_o pure_a intellection_n beside_o this_o i_o consider_v that_o this_o power_n of_o imagination_n which_o be_v in_o i_o as_o it_o differ_v from_o the_o power_n of_o understanding_n do_v not_o appertian_n to_o the_o essence_n of_o i_o that_o be_v of_o my_o mind_n for_o though_o i_o want_v it_o yet_o certain_o i_o shall_v be_v the_o same_o he_o that_o now_o i_o be_o from_o whence_o it_o seem_v to_o follow_v that_o it_o depend_v on_o something_o different_a from_o myself_o and_o i_o easy_o perceive_v that_o if_o any_o body_n whatever_o do_v exist_v to_o which_o my_o mind_n be_v so_o conjoin_v that_o it_o may_v apply_v itself_o when_o it_o please_v to_o consider_v or_o as_o it_o be_v look_v into_o this_o body_n from_o hence_o i_o say_v i_o perceive_v it_o may_v so_o be_v that_o by_o this_o very_a body_n i_o may_v imagine_v corporeal_a being_n so_o that_o this_o manner_n of_o think_v differ_v from_o pure_a intellection_n only_o in_o this_o that_o the_o mind_n when_o it_o understand_v do_v as_o it_o be_v turn_v itself_o to_o itself_o or_o reflect_v on_o itself_o and_o be●●o'ds_n some_o or_o other_o of_o those_o idea_n which_o be_v in_o itself_o but_o when_o it_o imagine_v it_o convert_v itself_o upon_o body_n and_o therein_o behold_v something_o conformable_a to_o that_o idea_n which_o it_o have_v understand_v or_o perceive_v by_o sense_n but_o it_o be_v to_o remember_v that_o i_o say_v i_o easy_o conceive_v imagination_n may_v be_v so_o perform_v suppose_v body_n to_o exist_v and_o because_o no_o so_o convenient_a manner_n of_o explain_v it_o offer_v itself_o from_o thence_o i_o probable_o guess_v that_o body_n do_v exist_v but_o this_o i_o only_o say_v probable_o for_o though_o i_o shall_v accurate_o search_v into_o all_o the_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o distinct_a idea_n of_o body_n which_o i_o find_v in_o my_o imagination_n yet_o i_o find_v none_o of_o they_o from_o whence_o i_o may_v necessary_o conclude_v that_o body_n do_v exist_v but_o i_o have_v be_v accustom_v to_o imagine_v many_o other_o thing_n beside_o that_o corporeal_a nature_n which_o be_v the_o object_n of_o pure_a mathematics_n such_o as_o be_v colour_n sound_n taste_n pain_n etc._n etc._n but_o none_o of_o these_o so_o distinct_o and_o because_o i_o perceive_v these_o better_a by_o sense_n from_o which_o by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o memory_n they_o come_v to_o the_o imagination_n that_o i_o may_v with_o the_o great_a advantage_n treat_v of_o they_o i_o ought_v at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o consider_v sense_n and_o to_o try_v whether_o from_o what_o i_o perceive_v by_o that_o way_n of_o thought_n which_o i_o call_v sense_n i_o can_v deduce_v any_o certain_a argument_n for_o the_o existence_n of_o corporeal_a being_n and_o first_o i_o will_v here_o reflect_v with_o myself_o what_o those_o thing_n be_v which_o be_v perceive_v by_o sense_n i_o have_v heretofore_o think_v true_a and_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o so_o think_v i_o will_v then_o inquire_v into_o the_o reason_n for_o which_o i_o afterward_o doubt_v those_o thing_n and_o last_o of_o all_o i_o will_v consider_v what_o i_o ought_v to_o think_v of_o those_o thing_n at_o present_a first_o therefore_o i_o have_v always_o think_v that_o i_o have_v have_v a_o head_n h●nds_n foot_n sense_n the_o reason_n why_o i_o trust_v my_o sense_n and_o other_o member_n of_o which_o this_o body_n which_o i_o have_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o part_n of_o i_o or_o perhaps_o as_o my_o whole_a self_n consist_v and_o i_o have_v also_o think_v that_o this_o body_n of_o i_o be_v conversant_a or_o engage_v among_o many_o other_o body_n by_o which_o it_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v affect_v with_o what_o be_v advantageous_a or_o hurtful_a what_o be_v advantageous_a i_o judge_v by_o a_o certain_a sense_n of_o pleasure_n what_o be_v hurtful_a by_o a_o sense_n of_o pain_n furthermore_o beside_o pleasure_n and_o pain_n i_o perceive_v in_o myself_o hunger_n thirst_v and_o other_o such_o like_a appetite_n as_o also_o certain_a corporeal_a propension_n to_o mirth_n sadness_n anger_n and_o other_o like_a passion_n as_o to_o what_o happen_v to_o i_o from_o body_n without_o beside_o the_o extension_n figure_n and_o motion_n of_o those_o body_n i_o also_o perceive_v in_o they_o hardness_n heat_n and_o other_o tactile_a quality_n as_o also_o light_a colour_n smell_v taste_n sound_n etc._n etc._n and_o by_o the_o variation_n of_o these_o i_o distinguish_v the_o heaven_n earth_n and_o sea_n and_o all_o other_o body_n from_o each_o other_o neither_o be_v it_o whole_o without_o reason_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o these_o idea_n of_o quality_n which_o offer_v themselves_o to_o my_o thought_n and_o which_o alone_o i_o proper_o and_o immediate_o perceive_v that_o i_o think_v myself_o to_o perceive_v some_o thing_n different_a from_o my_o thought_n viz._n the_o body_n or_o object_n fro_o whence_o these_o idea_n may_v proceed_v for_o i_o often_o find_v these_o idea_n come_v upon_o i_o without_o my_o consent_n or_o will_n so_o that_o i_o can_v neither_o perceive_v a_o object_n th●_n i_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o it_o unless_o it_o be_v before_o the_o organ_n of_o my_o sense_n neither_o can_v i_o hinder_v myself_o from_o perceive_v it_o when_o it_o be_v present_a and_o see_v that_o those_o idea_n which_o i_o take_v in_o by_o sense_n be_v much_o more_o lively_a apparent_a and_o in_o their_o kind_n more_o distinct_a than_o any_o of_o those_o which_o i_o know_o and_o willing_o frame_v by_o meditation_n or_o stir_v up_o in_o my_o memory_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o they_o can_v proceed_v from_o myself_o there_o remain_v therefore_o no_o other_o way_n for_o they_o to_o come_v upon_o i_o but_o from_o some_o other_o thing_n without_o me._n of_o which_o thing_n see_v i_o have_v no_o other_o knowledge_n but_o from_o these_o idea_n i_o can_v think_v but_o that_o these_o idea_n be_v like_o the_o thing_n moreover_o because_o i_o remember_v that_o i_o first_o make_v use_v of_o my_o sense_n before_o my_o
