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 accompany_v our_o sensation_n wherein_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o it_o almost_o always_o blind_o follow_v the_o sensible_a impression_n or_o natural_a judgement_n of_o our_o sense_n and_o that_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

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

from_o it_o the_o soul_n continue_v sometime_o without_o judge_v whither_o or_o no_o the_o light_n be_v only_o in_o the_o object_n never_o think_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o do_v that_o this_o light_n

of_o they_o or_o else_o for_o some_o other_o reason_n these_o same_o person_n say_v they_o no_o long_o love_v the_o same_o sensation_n that_o they_o love_v former_o for_o they_o have_v they_o still_o when_o they_o eat_v the_o same_o food_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o they_o to_o answer_v to_o this_o objection_n it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o when_o those_o person_n taste_v any_o food_n that_o they_o have_v so_o much_o aversion_n to_o they_o have_v two_o very_a different_a sensation_n at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o have_v that_o of_o the_o food_n they_o eat_v according_a to_o the_o objection_n and_o they_o have_v also_o another_o sensation_n
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 sensation_n that_o be_v former_o agreeable_a to_o we_o be_v now_o no_o long_o so_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v always_o the_o same_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o it_o shall_v always_o be_v agreeable_a so_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 agreeableness_n there_o be_v more_o difficulty_n to_o prove_v that_o colour_n and_o some_o other_o sensation_n which_o i_o have_v call_v weak_a and_o languish_a be_v not_o the_o same_o in_o all_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 lively_a the_o one_o being_n more_o agreeable_a than_o the_o other_o and_o thus_o to_o discover_v the_o diversity_n of_o sensation_n that_o be_v find_v in_o different_a person_n by_o the_o variety_n 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 a_o variety_n in_o the_o sensation_n they_o have_v of_o colour_n and_o indeed_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o there_o be_v much_o diversity_n in_o the_o organ_n of_o sight_n in_o different_a person_n as_o well_o as_o in_o those_o of_o the_o ear_n or_o the_o taste_n for_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o suppose_v a_o perfect_a resemblance_n in_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o optic_a nerve_n in_o all_o man_n since_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a variety_n in_o every_o thing_n in_o nature_n and_o chief_o in_o those_o that_o be_v material_a it_o be_v therefore_o very_o probable_a 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 compound_v of_o all_o three_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v few_o person_n who_o have_v perfect_o the_o same_o sensation_n of_o they_o for_o instance_n there_o be_v some_o person_n who_o when_o they_o

suppose_v these_o person_n bear_v blind_a of_o one_o eye_n or_o with_o both_o their_o eye_n so_o dispose_v to_o see_v that_o blue_n which_o we_o call_v green_a they_o will_v believe_v they_o see_v object_n of_o the_o same_o colour_n as_o we_o see_v they_o because_o by_o green_a or_o blue_a they_o will_v always_o have_v understand_v what_o they_o see_v yellow_a or_o red._n we_o may_v further_o 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 be_v as_o much_o more_o please_v with_o one_o colour_n than_o another_o even_o as_o we_o be_v much_o more_o please_v with_o one_o taste_n than_o another_o the_o reason_n be_v the_o sensation_n of_o

character_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a object_n in_o respect_n to_o their_o colour_n be_v neither_o good_a nor_o bad_a to_o eat_v if_o object_n appear_v agreeable_a or_o disagreeable_a to_o we_o in_o respect_n to_o their_o colour_n their_o sight_n will_v be_v always_o follow_v with_o the_o course_n of_o those_o spirit_n which_o excite_v and_o accompany_v the_o passion_n since_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v touch_v without_o move_v it_o and_o we_o shall_v often_o hate_v good_a thing_n and_o love_v bad_a so_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o long_o preserve_v our_o life_n in_o fine_a the_o sensation_n of_o

to_o suppose_v a_o resemblance_n in_o thing_n incline_v we_o also_o to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o determine_a number_n of_o difference_n and_o form_n and_o that_o those_o form_n be_v neither_o capable_a of_o more_o or_o less_o we_o fancy_v that_o all_o body_n differ_v one_o from_o another_o as_o it_o be_v by_o degree_n that_o those_o very_a degree_n observe_v certain_a

and_o even_o sometime_o as_o very_o useful_a according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o wellbeing_a but_o pleasure_n be_v always_o a_o manner_n of_o be_v of_o
