 1 1|     thought, pretended either to believe nothing at all, or to believe
 2 1|    believe nothing at all, or to believe the most extravagant things
 3 1|     piece of Scepticism, than to believe there is no such thing as
 4 1|         Common Sense, than I who believe no such thing?~HYL. You
 5 1|          your own concession, to believe an absurdity?~HYL. I confess
 6 1|    contemplate the bare ideas, I believe you will find, they are
 7 1|          what reason you have to believe their existence; or what
 8 1| supposing them, I am resolved to believe as I did, till you bring
 9 1|      come to this, that you only BELIEVE the existence of material
10 2|           and all others too who believe there is a God, and that
11 2|         difference. Men commonly believe that all things are known
12 2|   perceived by God, because they believe the being of a God; whereas
13 2|           But, so long as we all believe the same thing, what matter
14 2|     unknown shape?~HYL. I do not believe that it hath any figure
15 2|          reasons have you not to believe it?~PHIL. It is to me a
16 2|         sufficient reason not to believe the existence of anything,
17 2|          IT IS you would have me believe; since you say you have

20 2|         the very same reasons to believe its existence that you now
21 2|         revelation induces us to believe the existence of a thing;
22 3|      what either truly was?~HYL. Believe me, Philonous, you can only
23 3|         on, and so foolish as to believe their senses? And yet I
24 3|    vulgar cast, simple enough to believe my senses, and leave things
25 3|      secondly, that, although we believe things to exist which we
26 3|         perceive, yet we may not believe that any particular thing
27 3|       induced the whole world to believe the being of Matter, if
28 3|           as the Author of it, I believe you will not affirm. Whatsoever
29 3|        objects: that we must not believe our senses: that we know
30 3|           I do.~HYL. You say you believe your senses; and seem to
31 3|    sensible impressions?~PHIL. I believe you may.~HYL. Explain to
32 3|       most plain honest men, who believe the creation, never think
