 1 1|       think you of distrusting the senses, of denying the real existence
 2 1|         which are perceived by the senses. Can you imagine that I

 5 1|            HYL. Can any man in his senses doubt whether sugar is sweet,
 6 1|        IMMEDIATELY PERCEIVE BY OUR SENSES. Whatever other qualities,
 7 1|         which are perceived by the senses), do not exist without the
 8 1|             Hylas, to which of the senses, think you, the idea of

10 1|        never persuade me out of my senses. I clearly understand my
11 1|        from that which strikes our senses? Even our own eyes do not
12 1|           me, Hylas. Think you the senses were bestowed upon all animals
13 1|            plainly relative to our senses: it being evident that what
14 1|             if you will trust your senses, is it not plain all sensible
15 1|            mean? the object of the senses?~HYL. The same.~PHIL. It
16 1|            immediate object of the senses,—that is, any idea, or combination
17 1|             Pray, by which of your senses came you acquainted with
18 1|        only being perceived by the senses.~PHIL. I presume then it
19 1|             I say, manifest to the senses?~PHIL. Do you not in a dream

22 1|         nature, independent of our senses; or are they in a perpetual
23 1|  notwithstanding any change in our senses, or in the posture and motion
24 2|            perceive by our several senses; and that nothing is perceived
25 2|        nothing is perceived by the senses beside ideas; and that no
26 2|        that we are deceived by our senses, and, know not the real
27 2|           as those perceived by my senses—which latter are called
28 2|          inform me by which of the senses you perceive it. If mediately,
29 2|       other thing perceived by the senses.~PHIL. But to fix on some
30 2|           refuted in each of those senses? And can any more be required
31 2|          that, in all your various senses, you have been shewed either
32 3|           are only relative to the senses, and have no absolute existence
33 3|        foolish as to believe their senses? And yet I know not how
34 3|        simple enough to believe my senses, and leave things as I find
35 3|           feel, and perceive by my senses. These I know; and, finding
36 3|          be really perceived by my senses, and at the same time not
37 3|        that I perceived them by my senses; and things perceived by
38 3|            things perceived by the senses are immediately perceived;
39 3|     because he perceives it by his senses. Ask him why he thinks an
40 3|           perceive them by all our senses?~HYL. And, in consequence
41 3|  represented as one who trusts his senses, who thinks he knows the
42 3|            things I perceive by my senses); and that, granting this,
43 3|         reality of things by their senses, how can a man be mistaken
44 3| appearances which I perceive by my senses.~PHIL. And the appearances
45 3|          they are imprinted on our senses. Is it not?~HYL. It is.~
46 3|            WHAT WE PERCEIVE BY OUR SENSES, is thought to exist by
47 3|            we must not believe our senses: that we know nothing of
48 3|     outside only which strikes the senses.~PHIL. What you call the
49 3|       short, you do not trust your senses, I do.~HYL. You say you
50 3|           You say you believe your senses; and seem to applaud yourself
51 3|         thing is discovered by the senses. If so, whence comes that
52 3|       ideas, apprehended by divers senses, or by the same sense at
53 3|        when I examine, by my other senses, a thing I have seen, it
54 3|       being perceived by the other senses. And, when I look through
55 3|          are variable; what if our senses are not in all circumstances
56 3|           ideas we perceive by our senses are not real things, but
57 3|          follow nature, trust your senses, and, laying aside all anxious
58 3|         which are perceived by the senses?~HYL. For the present, I
59 3|           objects perceived by the SENSES of one, likewise perceivable
60 3|           your opinion that by our senses we perceive only the ideas
61 3|     affected in like sort by their senses, and who had yet never known
62 3|        immediately perceive by our senses to be our own ideas. Your
63 3|         ideas perceived by various senses: which ideas are united

65 3|           talk, the objects of our senses are not termed IDEAS, but
66 3|           things falling under our senses, but in the philosophic
67 3|   immediately or mediately by your senses, or by ratiocination from
68 3|            ratiocination from your senses; whatever you could perceive,
69 3|           of things obvious to the senses. You must first reconcile
70 3|           any way perceived by the senses, is, on the principles I
