whole_a affair_n of_o science_n and_o the_o confutation_n of_o scepticism_n objection_n seem_v main_o to_o depend_v it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v 3._o first_o that_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o individuum_fw-la thing_n or_o suppositum_fw-la can_v never_o for_o the_o reason_n now_o give_v be_v distinct_a be_v and_o complete_a but_o confuse_a and_o imperfect_a for_o let_v we_o take_v any_o

be_v such_o thing_n as_o the_o notion_n be_v if_o the_o notion_n be_v clear_a entire_a and_o distinct_a our_o knowledge_n too_o be_v such_o and_o if_o the_o notion_n be_v obscure_a partial_a and_o

the_o small_a atom_n be_v too_o science_n little_a to_o be_v perceptible_a by_o our_o sense_n as_o though_o it_o be_v confuse_v as_o to_o itself_o may_v serve_v to_o distinguish_v it_o from_o all_o

have_v its_o own_o nature_n or_o essence_n in_o it_o and_o also_o all_o the_o mode_n or_o accident_n belong_v to_o it_o thus_o when_o we_o see_v a_o bag_n of_o sand_n or_o wheat_n pour_v out_o our_o sense_n acquaint_v our_o mind_n pre-imbued_n by_o some_o common_a notion_n that_o each_o grain_n can_v exist_v separate_a and_o have_v sustain_v or_o give_v be_v to_o its_o own_o accident_n without_o the_o assistance_n of_o any_o of_o its_o fellow-grain_n 6._o four_o this_o confuse_a knowledge_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o gross_a be_v sufficient_a for_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o science_n of_o it_o as_o science_n we_o can_v have_v in_o this_o state_n for_o though_o we_o can_v have_v a_o distinct_a knowledge_n of_o it_o all_o take_v in_o the_o lump_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o

all_o the_o many_o distinct_a conception_n we_o make_v of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o science_n we_o have_v they_o be_v all_o store_v up_o and_o amass_v in_o the_o thing_n and_o apt_a to_o be_v draw_v or_o parcele_v out_o thence_o by_o our_o abstractive_a consideration_n of_o it_o 7._o last_o that_o our_o distinct_a knowledge_n or_o science_n be_v build_v on_o our_o distinct_a notion_n of_o the_o thing_n frame_v in_o thing_n our_o mind_n by_o impression_n on_o the_o sense_n which_o be_v many_o and_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o affect_v we_o also_o manifold_a hence_o our_o soul_n in_o this_o state_n can_v have_v no_o distinct_a or_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o by_o piecemeal_n or_o by_o distinct_a different_a partial_a inadequate_a or_o as_o they_o be_v general_o and_o proper_o call_v abstract_v notion_n as_o mr._n locke_n have_v frequent_o and_o judicious_o exemplify_v in_o the_o several_a conception_n or_o notion_n we_o have_v of_o

to_o reach_v all_o the_o considerability_n that_o may_v be_v find_v in_o it_o which_o ground_n our_o different_a notion_n yet_o each_o notion_n we_o have_v of_o it_o be_v distinct_a from_o all_o the_o
