Who, either on the one side, indulging too much their thoughts immersed altogether in matter, canallow no existence to what is not material: or who, on the other side, finding not COGITATION within the natural powers of matter, examinedover and over again by the utmost intention of mind, have the confidenceto conclude--That Omnipotency itself cannot give perception and thoughtto a substance which has the modification of solidity. He that considershow hardly sensation is, in our thoughts, reconc...ilable to extendedmatter; or existence to anything that has no extension at all, willconfess that he is very far from certainly knowing what his soul is. It is a point which seems to me to be put out of the reach of ourknowledge: and he who will give himself leave to consider freely, andlook into the dark and intricate part of each hypothesis, will scarcefind his reason able to determine him fixedly for or against the soul'smateriality. Since, on which side soever he views it, either as anUNEXTENDED SUBSTANCE, or as a THINKING EXTENDED MATTER, the difficultyto conceive either will, whilst either alone is in his thoughts, stilldrive him to the contrary side.
