APPENDIX. 



B, 



BEFORE I conclude, it seems highly necessary to 

 enlarge a little on some particulars, which were be- 

 fore but slightly mentioned. 



One of these is the human under standing, which 

 was just mentioned in the 4th Chapter of the First 

 Part. On this important head I now intend to speak 

 particularly ; chiefly on the plan of the pious and 

 learned Dr. Peter Brown, late Bishop of Cork, in 

 Ireland. 



It is needful, first, to trace out the lounds and ex- 

 tent of human understanding. These bounds being 

 fixt, we are next to consider, how the mind dilates 

 itself beyond them : how it supplies the want of di- 

 rect ideas, by raising up secondary images in itself ^ 

 insomuch that things, otherwise imperceptible, grow 

 familiar and easy ; and we meditate and discourse 

 even on those beings whereof we have not the least 

 direct perception.
