2. 'Tis more certain. For what do we use •o reckon so certain as what we see with our eyes? Better (even in this respect) is the sight of the eyes, than the wandering of the desire. While, here, the mind is carried with most earnest desire to pursue knowledge, it very often mistakes its way, and miserably wanders. In our most wary ratiocinations, we many times shoot at rovers; but when we know by •his Vision, our mark is immediately presented to our eye. We are in no danger to be imposed upon by delusive appearances of ⟨p. 94⟩things. We look through no fallacious medium's, are held in no suspense; puzzled with no doubts, whether such consequencies withhold, such conclusions be rightly inferred, an• so are not retarded from giving a present unwavering assent. Here are no perplexing intricacies, no dubious hallucinations, or uncertain guesses; we see things as they are by • simple and undeceiving light, with both subjective, and objective certainty, being secure both from doubt, and error.
