A Strong indication of a Well regulated mind is to know the proper resting Point. The human mind As we before remarked in its Insatiate thirst for knowledge seems to Rise against every ols Stallc which the god of nature in his usual Wisdom throws in its Way. In its ambition it endeavours to vault Over Verv harrier and should it in Many instances glory in its Success it but too Fri Pientl rambles in the seductive regions of error and falsehood.

When struck by convincing and Luminous proofs he ought to he satisfied and no though he cannot perceive All things with an equal degree of evidence he should not therefore disavow the truth occasionally clouded As it is. There is a fundamental Rule in reasoning which tells us never to sacrifice a Well Estavi listed proposition for u few difficulties which cannot be clearly explained. Human reason As Well As the human heart is liable to excess and the Wise Man is Ever on his guard against this double sensuality. A few examples will perhaps explain this assertion. Common sense and the Faith of Mankind proclaim that there exist a material world an irresistible propensity forces us to believe it to assert that it is a Mere phantasmagoria would be an insult to reason and to a feeling which is too Strong for any sophistry to destroy. Yet strange to say male Hunche notwithstanding his Wisdom asserted and publicly professed that god was sufficiently powerful to affect our souls in the same manner As Well if there were real bodies in the universe is if there were none and to excite the same sensations without them us he could by them. Lie Drew n singular As Well is impious conclusion that the existence of matter is not demonstrated by reason. Berkeley the celebrated Bishop of Cloyne going still further stated that there was nothing permanent in the essential qualities of matter that the Extension of the same body appeared sometimes smaller sometimes larger that therefore it was Oulen Quality w hich like the visions of a dream existed in the mind and consequently that the existence of matter was impossible what gave Rise to such Learned follies 7 these two metaphysician were seduced from the course of common sense by the Bye common sense seems to be no common inheritance by a spirit of subtlety by an argumentative mind once missing the reckoning and latitude of truth Thev w Ere eventually lost in the Strong current of fancy.
