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 therefore_o it_o remove_v from_o it_o as_o much_o as_o possible_a these_o sort_n of_o sensation_n to_o attribute_v they_o to_o the_o object_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o can_v avoid_v feel_v within_o self_n that_o they_o belong_v to_o it_o especial_o when_o these_o sensation_n come_v near_o those_o that_o i_o call_v strong_a and_o lively_a so_o that_o it_o be_v after_o this_o manner_n 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 in_o the_o object_n and_o if_o it_o touch_v it_o but_o a_o little_a the_o soul_n believe_v it_o only_o in_o the_o object_n and_o if_o this_o sensation_n be_v exact_o in_o the_o medium_fw-la between_o the_o strong_a and_o weak_a than_o it_o know_v not_o what_o to_o
of_o dislike_n which_o for_o instance_n proceed_v from_o the_o strong_a imagination_n they_o have_v of_o the_o dirt_n in_o what_o they_o eat_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v that_o when_o two_o

agreeable_a sensation_n never_o come_v without_o this_o other_o disgustful_a one_o and_o because_o we_o confound_v thing_n that_o be_v produce_v at_o the_o same_o time_n we_o imagine_v that_o this_o

that_o if_o we_o imagine_v it_o be_v not_o agreeable_a it_o be_v because_o it_o be_v join_v and_o confound_v with_o another_o that_o cause_v more_o distaste_n than_o the_o other_o do_v of_o

man_n because_o all_o those_o sensation_n so_o little_o affect_v the_o soul_n that_o we_o can_v distinguish_v they_o so_o well_o as_o we_o can_v taste_n or_o other_o sensation_n more_o strong_a and_o

of_o their_o pleasure_n or_o dislike_v reason_n which_o always_o show_v that_o the_o other_o sensation_n be_v not_o the_o same_o in_o different_a person_n tell_v we_o also_o that_o there_o will_v be_v

that_o all_o man_n see_v not_o the_o same_o colour_n in_o the_o same_o object_n yet_o i_o believe_v it_o never_o or_o very_o rare_o happen_v that_o person_n see_v white_a or_o black_a to_o be_v of_o any_o other_o colour_n than_o we_o do_v although_o they_o do_v not_o see_v it_o equal_o white_a or_o black_a but_o for_o mix_a colour_n as_o red_a yellow_a and_o blue_a and_o chief_o such_o as_o be_v

prove_v that_o all_o man_n see_v not_o the_o same_o object_n of_o the_o same_o colour_n because_o according_a to_o the_o observation_n of_o some_o the_o same_o colour_n do_v not_o equal_o please_v all_o sort_n of_o person_n and_o if_o these_o sensation_n be_v the_o same_o they_o will_v be_v equal_o agreeable_a to_o all_o man_n but_o because_o very_o weighty_a doubt_n may_v be_v raise_v against_o the_o answer_n i_o have_v give_v to_o the_o precedent_a objection_n i_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o solid_a enough_o to_o insist_v upon_o it_o indeed_o it_o be_v very_o seldom_o that_o we_o

that_o the_o same_o motion_n of_o the_o internal_a fibres_fw-fr of_o the_o optic_a nerve_n do_v not_o cause_v the_o same_o sensation_n in_o different_a person_n that_o be_v to_o see_v the_o same_o
