Thus There Is No Doubt The Eye

Thus Self-love As One Part Of Human Nature, And The Several Particular Principles As The Other Part, Are, Themselves, Their Objects And Ends, Stated And Shown.

People Habituate Themselves To Let Things Pass Through Their Minds, As One May Speak, Rather Than To Think Of Them. Thus By Use They Become Satisfied Merely With Seeing What Is Said, Without Going Any Further. Review And Attention, And Even Forming A Judgment, Becomes Fatigue; And To Lay Anything Before Them That Requires It, Is Putting Them Quite Out Of Their Way.

The Love Of Liberty That Is Not A Real Principle Of Dutiful Behavior To Authority Is As Hypocritical As The Religion That Is Not Productive Of A Good Life.

The Principle We Call Self-love Never Seeks Anything External For The Sake Of The Thing, But Only As A Means Of Happiness Or Good: Particular Affections Rest In The External Things Themselves.

God Almighty Is, To Be Sure, Unmoved By Passion Or Appetite, Unchanged By Affection; But Then It Is To Be Added That He Neither Sees Nor Hears Nor Perceives Things By Any Senses Like Ours; But In A Manner Infinitely More Perfect.
