They are the successive perceptions only, that constitute the mind; nor have we the most distant notion of the place, where these scenes are represented, or of the materials, of which it is composed. When I cast my eye on the known Qualities of objects, I immediately discover that the relation of cause and effect depends not in the least on them. Hence we are not entitled to regard them as accidental and derived from the mere will of the ruler, especially as we have no conception of such a will, except as formed in accordance with these laws. Now as this admiration encreases or diminishes by the encrease or diminution of the objects, we may conclude, according to our foregoing [Book I. Part III. SECT. 15.] principles, that it is a compound effect, proceeding from the conjunction of the several effects, which arise from each part of the cause. These principles have an effect on the imagination as well as on the passions. Since these philosophers, therefore, have concluded, that matter cannot be endowed with any efficacious principle, because it is impossible to discover in it such a principle; the same course of reasoning should determine them to exclude it from the supreme being.
