Thus For Fxample, Liehe and the Sun are the Os (a-
miliar and asetul thines in nature: We have the contorcable
Perception ot them by our Senles ol Secine and siccline
and enioy che Benetic and Adrantase ot chem; buc itiae

I chink ic is dereed by most chac rice of Hacural Philo.
Coptr, thac Lietir and Colours are nochine buc the Pfects
ot certain Bodies and Mocions on our senle of Secine, and
thac chere are no such thines at all in Nacure, buc ouls in
our Minds; and ot this ac least re mas belure, thac Liche
in che Sun or AIr, are verr different chines From itiac chev
are in our Senlations ot them; ver we caltboch by che lame
Names, and term that irtich is onty perhaps a Mocion in
the Aic, Lietr, because ic begets in us chac Conception irtrich

sations, thac the Actions ot outmard chines produce in us.

Because it affects our Fves in such manner, as enables us 1o
