 them really diftinguifhed ( as if they were different Entities ) 

 in my mind. And from thence I may inferre, there is no 

 contradiction in nature to have the accidents really fevered 

 from one another , and to have them actually fubfift without 

 their fubftance : and fuch other miflaken fiibtilties, which arife 

 ,out of our unwary conceiting that things are in their own na- 

 tnres afier the fame fafhion as we confider them in our under- 

 ftanding.
